Sram/Avid Rollamajig ?

Prowlus

After my 3rd stage pre-pike refit which had my bike upgraded towards an adaptable hope dt swiss front wheel and SRAM X-9 shifters, an evans cycle representative accidently let slip or a device SRAM do called a " Rollamajig" to me . Apparently this " Rollamajig" will make shifting even more smooth and accurate but he says , its not recommended on SRAM groupsets , only shimano .
Is this true , why would SRAM come up with a device that will improve "the enemy's" shifting ratio and not get one out for their groupsets?

IIRC Avid brought it out before they were bought by Sram, it stoped the big loop of cable at the back, may have increased perfomance but I don't know.

it is no longer made. and yes is for Shimano mechs and was made by Avid.

Wasn't a Crud CogHog similar too?



Yes, I am using one on the rear V-Brake, in this case a full set of DX V-Brakes

Rollermagigs make a huge difference to the shifting quality. I was all set to jump to the Sram camp untill i saw one in my lbs. As already mentioned they are not made any more, but you can still find them on fleebay. Also someone on southerdownhill bought a load to sell on, so might be worth trying there.

here is one in use.

just so you know what to look for. you can use a brake noodle to do the same.

Saw these in the latest Leisure Lakes catalogue (in a range of colours!) if that's any help.
