Is it possible to make the shifts in a 5 bolt pattern instead of six or even leave them undrilled? I have 3 sets of green plastic 5 star wheels and the vanquish adapter pattern obviously won't work and I don't know of a 5 bolt adapter. Thanks and have a great day

I could definitely have a set made up with no bolt pattern the next time I get a batch made. 5 bolt would be more challenging. I can ask my machinist if he doesn't mind modifying the code or doing it manually. Drop me a pm and we can talk about it.

I have to agree...... Knowing what I know generally speaking it takes all new code for just one change. He is going above and beyond here. Great job Brian.

The drill and tap operation is the last step in the program. Not sure if he can do it yet but maybe.

I guess the machinist wasn't in? Its only been almost a month so I assume that you or he can't or won't do it. Thanks for the update.

Hey Phlint,

I did check with the machinist. He may be able to do it in the next batch, or I can just have him leave one out and I can do it myself afterwards. It slipped my mind because the next batch will not be done for a little while. I cant convince him to set the machine up to run 1 set of shifts. If you are not in a hurry and can wait till the next batch I can probably take care of you. If it something you are itching to get your hands on then you'll have to look for another option.

phllint 02-25-2014 04:03 PM

I'm in no hurry, just curious. You can even leave them blank and I can thread them also

You want the 5 holes drilled and not tapped, or you want a shift with no holes at all?

phllint 02-25-2014 04:08 PM

Either way is fine.

It is most certainly not a problem if you are ok with a Blank set of Shift hubs.

Sending you a PM.

These look like less minimum offset from your originals (I like that) what is min offset on these?

I liked them a lot better when they were flat on the wheel side...why did you change it??

phllint 04-19-2014 05:04 PM

Why does it matter about how flat it is? Do they work better flat or is it just a personal preference

It looks like it give a narrower minimum overall track width....which I like, therefore resulting in more possible wheel offsets using these.

The ones that are not flat are the slims. They have a .225" offset. When they were flat there were some people that found their stub shafts were not threaded enough and they could not fully seat the wheel nut. The raised landing is for the nut to lie on so that the wheel can be fully tightened.

Got my Shifts today and I was impressed by the quality of the milling and how securely they mount to both the SLW rims and the XR10 axles. NO MORE HEX yay"thumbsup"

Highly recommend these over anything else. Makes so much sense. Love them.

I turned down the heads of some 4-40 Button Heads to mount them up using one thick shim front and back and I think the whole package looks pretty tasty.

Thanks again for the prompt shipping!

For those of you attending the NENQ ONLY!

If anyone wants to buy shift hubs and save $5 ($35 instead of $40) let me know. I will take paypal orders now and bring parts down to Rausch Creek with me. I will have some with me to sell freestyle but if you really want some this is the way to make sure you get them.

Also there is still time to do custom anodizing on the hubs and get them for $45 instead of $50. Any custom anodizing orders need to be into me by Wednesday night.

Send me a PM to get things going.

Expires 6/29/14

02-13-15 Currently out of stock on Slim shifts, I have a handful of regular shifts available in silver, or they can be anodized. I should be getting more inventory by the end of the month.

Re: Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs
 
The new batch of shifts has come in and is moving fast so act quick if you want some. Will have more on the way soon if you happen to miss out.

Also an important update. For all of you who were tired if getting your shifts in and immediately taking an M3 tap to them.... it's your lucky day. The plan is to have all shift hubs tapped to M3 from now on. There will be six holes pre-drilled for #4-40 screws (3/32nd drill) so if you still want to rock #4-40 hardware it can be done. Those of you using M3 hardware if you find that you have stripped some threads on the tapped M3 holes the ones drilled to 3/32nd can be opened opened up and tapped for new M3 holes.

Hopefully the backlash from the "stock" users isn't to painful :shock: but I am a comp guy, and the people who helped grow shifts are comp guys too.

Brian,

These hubs are my favorite by far. I run them on all three of my rigs.

Just curious if you considered the "slim" spacers we talked about at NENQ.

I would love to have 1/16" spacers included in my arsenal of spacers that come with your current hub package.
