    @greatape..I made one, originally, for the Lev remote. I changed to a Thomson and found it worked great with that one too.

    Silver ones, that have been paid, have been posted today. Black ones only came back from anodisers at 4.30pm so will be posted tomorrow..

    I’ve just had an email from someone who wants 20 so, hopefully, I’ll get to run another batch if that goes ahead 😀

    I reckon that would work quite nicely with a Giant Contact Switch dropper too, but I’ll have a closer look tonight before committing!

    Got mine today! ?

    And….

    Fitted. Seems pretty tight with slx breaks and a thomson remote as the slx leavers aren’t all that long. Final positioning tbc.

    Fits perfectly for my XFusion Hilo remote:

    Used last night and it was great! Would be a little better if it had a clamp to fit, so you dont have to bend it apart or remove grips, but for £15, whos to complain!
    Thanks Steve, great stuff 🙂

    I’d like a couple of these please if you could add me to the next Batch?

    Will email tonight.

    Thanks, Ben.

    Nice to see them arriving.

    @superfli The idea was to keep it as minimal as possible and with most people using lock-on’s these days it seemed the best way with the screw position. Most shifters etc you need to take the grips off to remove them so didn’t seem like an issue. Hope you don’t need to take your grips off too often..

    Stevie – have you tried it without the locking bolt? – seems to work just fine using the force from my thomson remote – may make it lighter / cheaper to make?

    stevied

    Not tried it without the screw but it’s a good tip for the weight-weenies out there. With the screw you can leave the adaptor in place if you want to take the dropper/remote off.
    I normally take mine off for uplift/DH days but can leave the adaptor on for when I put the dropper back on.

    Nicely made Steve, thanks.

    Having trouble getting it placed with a KS Lev. Lever is short, fat and has a long firm throw (especially for release), really needs rotating up a bit then it clashes with other stuff. Suspect the Thomson lever is more suited to it, will explore when that bike is back from having its rear end sorted.

    Hmmm – this is ace but I forgot about the ESI grip removal nightmare…

    Good work tho Steve. Very professional

    Yes, quite! I think ESI are fit and leave until you destroy them.

    Anyone finding that if used with a 2×10 setup it’s tricky to get the dropper remote in the perfect spot ergonomically. If I place it next to grip and then I’m moving the brake lever more inboard than I like and vice versa the dropper remote is too close to my slx shifters if I put the brake next to the grip,

    I assumed it was meant really for 1x set ups, for that exact reason.

    Due to my old knees and the need for a granny ring where I ride I’m afraid 2×10 it is, so if anyone would like a black anodized adapter email me, address is in profile.

    I’m going to be doing some more bazza. Fudge, sorry it didn’t work well for you. If you want to send it back I’m sure I can sort out something sort of refund..

    Sorry if it’s been asked. Do they work ok with Specialized Command Post levers?

    If so, I will take one from the next batch of black ones.

    Anyone got a pic of the adaptor with the KS (or other) remote fitted? I seem to have deleted mine and wanted to add some to the other thread so people can see what it will work with…
