Review on Wingsmoto Shifter Alloy Folding Unbrakable by Thomas Chalecki

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but may not stand up to off-road use.

I was looking for an upgraded switch for my son's TTR50, it was a great price and looked like a good upgrade. Easy to install and has everything you need to replace the standard lever. It's also a bit longer than my stock lever so there was a bit more leverage to shift, which was good. It must be rotated to level or slightly below so that it does not touch the engine case when shifting. My only issue with this derailleur is that it may not hold up very well off-road. My son rolled over at 0mph on his first ride since installation and instead of folding the tip of the arm he bent over the rivet. At this point the tip of the folding lever got very sloppy and looked like it was about to break. I may have just received a broken lever, but I think since this lever is aluminum it might be better suited for street use. The seller was great, got back to you quickly and solved the problem.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Pretty good
