Default Quick Review

Just installed the ixGears Flots shift **** (https://ixigears.com/shop/ols/products/the-flots)

Installation was easy, twist top of boot counterclockwise at base of shift **** to release boot and the pull hard straight up on shift ****.

Once off you unscrew the Flots shoft ****, mount the stem and tighten with the included allen wrench. There is a small ring that allows you to lock the **** in place in the correct orientation (if engraved).

Once installed, it looks great and because it is the same length as the stock ****, I did not bother to remove the boot to affix it to the bottom of the new **** (may do that later).

It is far heavier, making shifts a bit more prices, plus feels nice in the hand. Quality is top notch and price is too cheap (paid $69 shipped).

He’s not uploading, he’s using an embedded link to the pictures.

The reason the image isn’t displaying is that the embedded URL you put in that post has disallowed characters.

Here is the URL that you used in post #6...

Yes, I accidentally forgot the f in shift. Typing is not my strong suit (in my day, only girls were allowed to take typing, boys got to make bird houses and 3X5 recipe card boxes.

Looks nice. I see you're in FL too, and drive a cab. Any concerns about the shift **** getting hot in the sun?

Any concerns about the shift **** getting hot in the sun? Garage at home, covered parking at work, if I am leaving outside for more than 1/2 hour top is up, so not really, plus still worth it.
