Custom Mountain Bike Shift Knobs
Hello,
I've made some of these shift knobs to sell, I currently have 3 for sale of the tall profile, and will be making more of the low profile styles. What I have made is a shift knob that allows the use of any BMX, MTB, or other 7/8" handlebar grip and bar end plug as your shift knob. I make two styles, the "Normal" is a taller 6" long unit that is left that length to accept nearly any grip on the market, and allows the use of a lock nut for simple and secure installation. The "Low Profile" is shortened to the exact length of a FSA Gravity clip on grip, but would likely accept many other grips (longer grips would just hang over the bottom slightly...Likely not a big deal. And also features recessed threads to allow it to sit ~1.5" lower. (With the TWM shifter it sits roughly stock height maybe a bit below). Either will let you pick many many many different styles of grip to customize your look and feel, and will feel as study as a OEM knob. I sell them at the following prices: Normal: $35 (+$10 to include a FSA Gravity grip) Low Profile: $40 (+$10 to include FSA Gravity grip) Price includes shipping to US/Canada. Here are pictures of both styles installed in my 2012 LB on a TWM shifter: http://imgur.com/a/18nvg |

Thank you! Shifter mods are my favorite simple mod. I try to tool something custom in my shifter linkage for each car I do. I'm really happy about how these came out, and hope I can make many more shifter-related projects in the future.

Pretty nice work. I have an automatic, but I'm a mtb guy too. Can these fit on the auto stick ?

They can not, but I could make some the next batch I run. (The thread is different)

Thanks. Don't make them just for me tho, I still have many other upgrades to do before the stick grip.

I plan to make 10 to 20 at a time, based on when I got home to visit my folks and have a lathe. If there is a specific thread requested, it makes little difference to tap that thread over another for 1.

My eBay listings ended, so I can either sell to you direct, or I can relist. Just PM me to work out details.
