Trick/Click/flatshifters

I’ve been looking around at some of the flatshifter/trickshifter type options and they all appear to have their limitations. In an ideal world I would be looking at a paddle shift with cable operation with full throttle up shifts and throttle blip on the down shift. I know that some of the systems will give this capability, but will any of them work with a cable linkage rather than a rod linkage?

Get in touch with Pathfinder - he's been developing something. have a look in his photo archive.

It looks a neat bit of kit and does everything you want (I think) - I'll certainly be upgrading to something of that ilk eventually.

I take it your building a BEC. If so why not use an electronic shift. These are ready made kits for bikes and are simple to fit.
