aikigreg Moderator recumbent ninja Posts: 3685	Archer d1x May 26^th, 2020, 8:14pm I was recently quoted 2400 for an electronic shifting setup because I'd need to go to an 11spd drivetrain, etc. I'm considering getting one of these and loving with a manual front shifter. My hands are starting to get sore a lot faster these days. https://archercomponents.com/

jayg Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 4133	Re: Archer d1x Reply #4 - May 27^th, 2020, 3:44pm Yes, using manual shifters for the front on both trikes. Have you seen this thread on BROL: http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=151005 Manual, side-mount front shifter. Wireless pushbutton station. Had to rotate it a little clockwise to clear my leg. D1x shifter mounted on upper rear stay.

I'm actually doing a review of the Archer D1X on my Quest. It took a a bit to install mostly by myself, but I'm almost ready to go for a ride with it. Archer will probably be referencing my video for velo riders. I did buy a much onger cable to get the 'box' up in the cockpit where I could turn it on and off easier. When the video is ready, it will post to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/CatrikeTheFlamingEyeball
