Mounting the Twist Shifter

1 Clamp Screws (Art. #8192)
2 Clamp with Clamp Screws (Art. #8193)
3 Cable Stoppers (Art. #8191)
4 Shifter Housing (Art. #SA 01)
5 Cable Pulley with O-Ring/Rubber Seal (Art. #8194)
6 Rubber Grip with O-Ring/Rubber Seal (Art. #8190)
7 Circlip (Art. #SA 18-N)

The Twist Shifter works with two shifter cables. When the Twist Shifter is rotated forward (direction of gear #14), then then the rear shifter cable #14 is pulled.When the Twist Shifter is rotated backwards (direction of gear #1), then then the rear shifter cable #1 is pulled.

The Cable Stoppers for both shifter cables are identical and are simply inserted into the shifter housing facing in opposing directions. The Cable Stoppers can only be fully inserted if fitted correctly. An incorrect mounting is therefore impossible.

Slide the Twist Shifter over the right-hand handlebar end (handlebar diameter 22 - 22.3mm / 7/8”). Rotate the Twist Shifter  so that the Cable Stoppers are evenly distanced above and below the brake lever.
Both

Both Clamp Screws (M3x12 - Torx TX20) should be lightly fitted so that the gap between both clamp elements is identical.

Insert the screws using the pressure of just two fingers on the TX20 tool. Finally tighten each screw by max. 2Nm (1/2 rotation). The Twist Shifter should now be tightly secured to the handlebars.

Attention

Over tightening of the Clamp Screws can cause damage to both Twist Shifter and/or handlebars.

Fitment of Shifter Cable

Fitment of Shifter Cable 14:
Remove both Cable Stoppers from the Shifter Housing.
Insert Shifter Cable 14 into the Cable Pulley as illustrated above, until the cable end exits the Shifter Housing.

Rotate the Grip Rubber so that the gear indicator arrow falls between gears #8 and #9. Hold the Shifter in this position. Pull Shifter Cable 14 completely intop the Shifter Housing until the Nipple is seated correctly in the Cable Pulley.

Insert Shifter Cable 1 into the Cable Pulley as illustrated above, until the cable end exits the Shifter Housing.

Rotate the Grip Rubber so that the gear indicator arrow falls between gears #6 and #7. Hold the Shifter in this position. Pull Shifter Cable 1 completely intop the Shifter Housing until the Nipple is seated correctly in the Cable Pulley.

Check that the Shifter Cables run smoothly by pulling on each cable end alternatively. The Grip Rubber should rotate freely between both bed-stops slightly beyond gears #1 and #14.

Mounting of Cable Housings with integrated liners: Thread the Cable Stoppers back over each Shifter Cable and push these firmly into the Shifter Housing facing in the correct position. Make sure to fit Ferrules between Cable Housing and Cable Stoppers.

Attention

Pushing the Cables without the Cable Stoppers fitted could result in the Nipple becoming clamped on one of the Shifter Cable exits or within the Shifter Housing itself.

Rubber Grip replacement

Replacement: When replacing the Grip Rubber, it is not necessary to remove or replace the shifter cables. Using a small, flat screwdriver prise the Circlip out of position and remove from the Shifter Housing.

Before fitting the replacement Grip Rubber, check that the O-ring is seated correctly on the Cable Pulley.
 

Tip

Lightly grease the inside of the Cable Pulley to ensure easy operation.

The Grip Rubber and the Cable Pulley will only marry in one position. The Cable Pulley has 5 blind holes which correlate with the 5 pins found on the Grip Rubber. It is therefore impossible to re-mount the Grip Rubber incorrectly.Lightly grease the inside of the Grip Rubber prior to mounting back over the Shifter Housing.

When connecting both components, slide the Grip Rubber fully over the Shifter Housing and lightly rotate until it falls into position in the Cable Pulley.

Tip

Push the Rubber Grip lightly into the final position over the Oring until it reaches the bedstop.

Replace the Circlip back onto the Shifter Housing. Check that the Shifter rotates freely.

Replace Shifter Cables

Remove both Shifter Cables housings and corresponding Ferrules from the Shifter Housing.

Attention

Pushing the Cables without the Cable Stoppers fitted could result in the Nipple becoming clamped on one of the Shifter Cable exits or within the Shifter Housing itself.

Rotate the Shifter (with fitted Cable Stoppers) until the gear indicator on the Shifter Housing is positioned between numbers 8 and 9. Hold the Shifter in this Position

Remove both Cable Stoppers. Push Shifter Cable 14 out of the Shifter Housing until the Nipple is free. Pull the Cable Nipple to completely remove the Shifter Cable.

Rotate the Shifter (with fitted Cable Stoppers) until the gear indicator on the Shifter Housing is now positioned between numbers 6 and 7. Hold the Shifter in this Position.

Remove both Cable Stoppers. Push Shifter Cable 1 out of the Shifter Housing until the Nipple is free. Pull the Cable Nipple to completely remove the Shifter Cable.
