Title: Jtek Shiftmate
Post by: Robin Thorn on May 30, 2015, 08:02:57 AM

Hi, as owner of www.SJSCycles.com (http://www.SJSCycles.com) we're very pleased to say that we've taken over Jtek Engineering's designs and production. This includes the famous Shiftmate, Cable doublers, bar end fitting brake levers plus a bar end gear lever for Shimano 8s hubs. We've currently only got patchy stock but over the next few months this will improve vastly as our own production comes on stream. It's going to be possible to order from www.sjcycles.com (http://www.sjcycles.com) or from your LBS. I'd be very obliged if any forum members or indeed browsers out there were to spot any questions about Jtek on other forums or indeed questions about matching different brands of shifters and drivetrain together please direct them towards wwww.jtekengineering.com (http://wwww.jtekengineering.com) Thanks

Ha, it's all in the detail! If you've got everything Shimano 11 then that's the best it gets, the Shiftmate converts one brand/model of shifter to work with different drivetrain make/model/number of speeds. Checkout the compatibility chart here: www.sjscycles.co.uk/shiftmate-guide-blog25 (http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shiftmate-guide-blog25) email our sales guys on sales@sjscycles.com for more help.
