Grafton Speed Controllers

Lshaped bracket jobbies were early, up to if I remember rightly, 1992, so you needed threaded mathausers or aztec roadie type blocks (or MTB U-brake blocks) Often spongy when set up, but potentially pretty powerful. After that, John Grafton simply used chap pad holders off mass market type cantilevers, allowing people to run the studded blocks they wanted too. He could have made ti eye bolt fixtures, but it just would have driven unit cost through the roof, and SRP were doing the eye bolts anyway for those who wanted to spend the extra. Yes, you can use eye bolts on the earlier bodies, yes you can grab some eye bolts off cheap tektros and the like.
Yes, I concurr kev you have maglites. Never seen before in red though. And NO you MUST NOT strip the anodising off the mags, or they corrode faster than you can blink. Hope this helps ; )

cheers mate - so the red ones are rare then? :wink:

Pingu - the purple ones are now black! I need another pair of silver though.....
 
Sure Ive got a silver set somewhere...
I prefer the 'L' holders as its more bling.
So how am I gonna prevent my silver mag-lites rotting then? :cry:

thats weird as every set of speed controllers i've got include ti pad holders, just assumed they were stock
according to the bike bible speed controllers came with steel & mag lites with ti

perhaps the speed controllers later came with ti then?
