Small print. Just knobbing around, calm down, it's not real, go and take a good look at yourself and consider your own shortcomings before complaining about a fictitious product that really does not exists. Not really for sale. Back off. Have a cup of tea. Cheer up. And let's be excellent to each other. Just for fun. Custard creams are ace. Available from NO good bike shops and no shiddy shops either. Not self-promotion just messing about FFS. Go on, buy anything from anyone else, I really don't care where you buy your gears from. There is so much **** up shit in the world, really dreadful things... Get stuck in to that. It's just a bike forum, not an affront to anything you hold dear. Ride a bike.

Thumbs can do many things.

And nothing beats a nice thumbs up as a sign Of appreciation for a rad skid or suck wheelie.

Hold on a double thumbs up and big smile is better.

Charlie, if I order one of these revolutionary, new fangled devices from u does your shop throw in a big bag of weed/acid instead of the industry standard haribos??

Lol. No acid or weed. We take things very seriously so I am afraid it's just EPO.

Im holding out for the tech to trickle down to a more accesible price point.

Lower price point. I have heard some folk are gaffer taping a lolly stick to their thumb to prevent sissy thumb wiggle. This only costs a the price of a mini milk and some tape. Available from all food corner shops.

Charlie I actually need one please.

No seriously I do.

And I need a T-shirt. For free of course, cos then I can wear it in trendy establishments in That London and help promote your bizniz.

I think that's a very fair deal indeed.

Everyone said I was mad. Didn't even make the short list for dragons den, not even as a hopeful lunatic failure who has sunk all his life savings ( accumulated by living with his mum well into his fifties) But I can see there are a lot of folk going for shifter in the woods.

is there a left-handed purple anodised version for 29er fixed ebb recumbent tandem fatbike unicyles with gears?

Posted 6 months ago #

Don't worry about left hand purple etc. It's the grip shift variation that's gonna be tricky.

Mutually beneficial, innit?

Is it compatible with 10-speed thumbs?

Excellent. Innovation like this (and the disclaimer) make visits to this forum worthwhile.

Maybe, you could adapt the Shimano Di2 shifting system to actually give people an electric shock at the bottom of hills. I reckon upping the aversion therapy would have a greater impact, and the desirable therapeutic outcome therefore expedited.

Di2... I had to google to find out what it is... And FFS shimano, really, Is this what we need? Why waste resource on this when your basic one speed freewheels are still nasty and gear danglers still go bad as soon as the mud starts flying.

BUT why not connect it to the saddle, an electro shock saddle. Zap you right in the daddy batteries.

But this may discourage folk from cycling entirely.

Elf: t shirts are available online. Or if you have a cool xl shirt we can swap.

No sound on work PC's so untill you showed it from the front I assumed it was one of those joke shop shakey hand electric shock doo-dahhhs.

Rapid rise here, so if I ever twitch a thumb it means I'm just too much man for my gear to handle :p
