confused 800 x ray questions

[kase1983]

typing with frozen fingures.

just fitted some new 800 xrays and confused on they way the work,

unlike my gripshift on my other bike, these appear to move the grip up to make the rear mech rise, unlike my others ware i move the grip down to make the mech rise.

just doesnt seem rite, i was told buy someone else to that the clamp bolt should be at the front? is this rite?

am i completly missing something?

same as other gripshift afaik :?

daft question - it isn't a rapid rise rear mech??

 

[kase1983]

no its all standard, both shifters are doing the same.

gonna give up and look for some other shifters. lol

Has the cable been routed the wrong way inside the shifter?

 

[orange71]

Are they the ones in your BOTM image? Have you got them the right way round?

Pain in the ...

X-rays can be taken apart very easily, but be gentle they can be delicate :roll:

Sounds like previous owner as taken them apart and routed the cable incorrectly

An easy fix! Dont give up on them too easy because they are quite good to use

Also if your stripping them squirt some super slick grease on the working parts, it'll help with smooth shifting
