    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking at possibly getting a quick shifter for my blade and wondering if the damage the gearbox as some people say they do.
    Its a road bike that may do accessions trackdays.
    I've used dyno jet,hm and translogic, the translogic was by far the smoothest one on any of track bikes that had them.
    If theyvare set properly should gearbox be ok?

    I would have said my quick shifter is kinder to the gearbox than I am on a fast change.

    I tend to agree. Number of times I've heard a bit of a grind when changing manually, never on the qs. I've got the OE and it just slots in up or down.

    I had the translogic on both 2016's and it was far and away the best qs I've had out of the other brands I've used

    Translogic on my 2015 has transformed the bike. Excellent bit of kit.

    After having a translogic on my 2015 and seeing how smooth they are,I’d go as far as saying the problems would still be more to do with shit,clumsy usage

    Another vote for Translogic, gear shifts are just as smooth if not smoother on my 2014.

    Translogic on my 2015 too, I think their sensors are actually OE fitment for a few manufacturers.
