[Closed] Dropper Remote for cable tale (not head)

[#8227265]

I've just got a Fox Transfer.
I resisted buying the remote as it seemed ridiculous at £60.

I was going to make one out of an XTR shifter.
But not going to be easy as the tail end is at the bar.
I've seen this but not sure if there is room in the XTR shifter.

Anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the Fox that I can buy?

The giant one is the same style, might be cheaper

£17 is more like it

Avoid the Fox lever anyway. It has a tiny Allen key grub screw that's made of cheese to secure the cable . DAHIKT

Wolftooth remote is superb, I use one now on my Transfer post.

Where did you get the wolftooth from? I can't find one anywhere, even their websites out of stock with no delivery date

Shit me, I wish I'd seen that bontrager drop line before I bought two of the Fox levers!
