    Hi,

    I made this for my 2011 blade and thought I would share it. Its a new gearchange rod made from carbon fibre with alloy ends. I have glued the ends with an epoxy adhesive. To make sure it held I hung a 50lbs weight on it over night and it held fine, but to be double certain I also put a carbon fibre pin through it! As a bonus its also 8 grams lighter!!

    I think it looks pretty cool, but im biased!! lol

    Thanks for the comments guys. I wasn't thinking of selling them, but i had to buy minimum lengths of the carbon rod and bar so I have enough left to make more if people wanted one?

    Im sure there's enough enough of us wanting one to use up your length if the price is ok.
