Changing Travel of the Push Ring and Pull Ring
The travel between
full off
and
full on
for both rings is
adjustable by replacing the HDPE Plastic blocks mounted
on the side of the hand controls.
The travel is a matter of preference. But in general you
will want to use the 35mm blocks if they are comfortable
as they may give you more precision. But if you find that
difficult to reach, or the spring tension is too much to hold
full throttle for long periods then try the smaller blocks.
We use these blocks instead of individual adjusters to
ensure that you always have the exact same adjustment
on each side. This would be difficult with adjusters, and if
they are not matched the rings can bind or be inconsistent
in their travel.
These blocks also provide a solid stop without the
“clanking” noise of a hard adjuster.
Each of the 4 individual blocks from each set are different,
meaning that there is an upper and a lower for each side.
Use caution to not get them mixed up. I recommend only
changing one side at a time so that you always have one side
assembled for reference.
The size is stamped on the back of each block. As of Nov.
2016 we are shipping with 30mm and 35mm blocks but
smaller sizes are available upon request. The size refers to
the approximate distance the ring will travel. For example,
the ring with 35mm blocks will move about 35mm (1 3/8”)
from full off to full on.
You can also mix and match blocks allowing, for example,
30mm blocks on the push ring and 35mm blocks on the pull
ring.
The
full off
position remains the same. Only the full on
position is changes. This means the sensors will not need to
be calibrated when the blocks are changed. The wheel will
just need to be turned off and back on so that it can calibrate
to the new
full on
setting.
