I like the kit on an orange bike. I ran into the same problems with getting the Sachs twist grips apart and back together. I'd never fiddled with one before as I'd always had road bikes. I got it working fine, but I didn't bother adjusting too much, as the new lever shifter/brake combo was due to arrive any day. I saw your comment on my smugmug gallery, and if you want any further info on the swap I made with the Albatross bars and the shifters, just let me know. The shifter/brake combo with cables and housings was less than $50 for the 8-speed. Enjoy! Steve Looks good, Johnny! I like the kit on an orange bike.

Good luck when you get yours. It's so nice to have another option besides your car to haul stuff. Thanks Beth. Good luck when you get yours.
