Quickshifts aern't really worth it. They make ya synchro's wear out quicker and have no advantage if ya have a quick hand.

I can understand the lure, but trust me when i say from experience; they cause more problems than they solve

No he didn't Miniboo. Try reading the thread title a bit more carefully.

He asked about Jack Knight quickshifts and you showed him a link to the KAD on-line shop for some reason, perhaps known only to yourself. Then you proceded to take over his thread. Stopit. :-

Jack Knight's online shop is still undergoing development (despite them promising their website would be fully new and operational by last November) so don't go by the price lists and catalogues available there yet. Wait 'till it's finished.

(Oh god I hate having to say this.....<sigh>)

Grudgingly I'm going to suggest you phone Mini Speed in Byfleet and check with them. They are (or were) the main dealer for Jack Knight Mini products despite being a generally useless and shonky company. Give them a call, maybe they know what's going on at Jack Knight at the moment.

Can't believe I just advised someone to ring Mini Speed.
I have a nasty taste in my mouth now.
