By a spherical rose joint. Which IMO is a far better way of R/Jing a gear selector compared to other particular long winded rose jointed efforts....(as oppose to a common threaded rose joint)Quote:

The 3 biggest ones. There very useful things.
Ah so are they attached together like a gyroball? So the inner can move in a left to right spin and the outer in a north to south spin...
Both the inner & outer sections can rotate 360 degree in any direction around each other basically.Quote:

I dont think theres anything else on the market that you'd be able to use though Benn. Its basically a spherical bearing or standard bush setup.
EDIT: If they only move one direction so to speak Iain, theyve had a pin put im them to "lock" them.
Should have shopped at Chris Astley Iain, then we wouldn't be having this discussion as you would never receive them! lol
More shiny things FTW.
True Limp, very true.
On there own there just a run of the mill spherical bearing, but obivously in this instance it becomes part of a rose jointed setup, therefore a RJ'd bearing. I know them by both names but im sure some do gooder will appear an correct me by calling them bearings lol
BTW, there the exact same thing thats fitted into competition top mounts.
