CROWDFUNDING CORNER
Xshifter Universal Wireless Gear Shifter
Price : Around $ 200
Available from : xshifter . com / Kickstarter . com
Currently in crowd-funding , the �shifter looks to be a game-changer for anyone wanting electronic gear shifts without replacing their mechanical shifting setup . Users remove their existing shifters and cables , leaving the front and rear derailleurs in place , and then attach two electronic modules onto the frame above each derailleur . These can then be wirelessly activated by the handlebar mounted remote .
