Dudes! the housing is like a year old
I have taken a picture of the loop for everyone, and I guess it is a bit smaller than my other bikes.
In any event, the shifter is the issue. I triple-checked the cable and it's nice and smooth as it travels through the housing.
I compared to two other SRAM gripshifts I have lying around, one that's 20 years old and one that's 2 years old, and both of them have much less play between gears and a slight self-centering effect that nudges the shifter back to center under the force of its own internal spring. The sunrace shifter will gladly hang between gears unless I twist it back to center
I guess this product is just a piece of crap - anyone ever hacked these into working a bit better?? Maybe bending the spring a bit? if you're out there, please find this thread!
