Got mine, used method 1. Shifting feels great now!
I am a happy shifter.
I used earthquake putty, just the smallest amount on each piece.
looks great without tape on the pieces.

Just installed mine, and another happy customer!

As a cyclist I spend $$ to save grams on components with negligible real world gains and mostly just bling factor. With this, not a lot of money for noticeable improvement and enjoyment. Thanks again Asim!

Next batch of 40 is here - for the 20 or so active orders and everyone that has inquired, will be shipping this weekend as promised.

For everyone else - have about 20 more ready to ship!

Hey everyone - latest batch just shipped out! You should have received an e-mail from paypal with updated tracking information.

If you are international, expect about 7 business days in transit. If you are in the US, expect orders to arrive beginning to mid next week.

Thank you for your support!

While my shifter was apart for weight install, I painted my shift **** plastic top to match my steering wheel.
The cheap plastic was looking pretty sad, I think it turned out pretty good, love shifting so much more now.

I got my weights installed. It was a lot easier than I thought. I can really feel the difference. While taking my first drive I was really impressed with the heft that it added to the OEM shift ****. I forget about having this installed when I get in my car but once I start rowing through the gears I can feel it. It is noticeable. Good job on this design. Love it!

Sorry for the late reply as I was part of the initial first batch.

Install was straightforward, fit went in well. I too need to add some 3M double sided tape for the top weight. It rattles around when the top cap was mounted.

I have the stock shifter and maybe it’s me but after the first drive, I don’t feel the weight/heavier shifting or the rifle bolt action feel. It kind of feels the same. Would the Numeric shifter benefit from the weights?
