Gilles - Updated footrests
Luxembourg based parts and accessory manufacturer Gilles Tooling has updated its footrest systems offer with the MUE- a "completely new generation of footrest that combines futuristic design with the highest processing quality".
The benefits include significantly simplified adjustability of the footrest position, according to Head of Sales Albert Katgerman. "The positions of the footrests, and the brake and shift levers themselves, can be freely adjusted according to the rider's wishes.
"The footpegs are positioned using a combination of sliding and rotating adjustments at just one point - making it extremely quick and easy to select (five positions by sliding and four positions by turning). The conversion to reverse shifting is done by simply twisting the shift arm."
The brake and shift levers have double ball bearings for perfectly backlash-free function of the levers and the kick components can be adjusted as desired via eccentrics and there are carbon heel protectors on both sides.
This system is equipped with foldable pegs. There is an additional option for both switching schemes - the shift linkage can be set in the standard position or the "fast" position (shift travel is shortened). The shift lever can be adjusted 10 mm in height without the need to adjust the shift rod or automatic shifter.
The system has an ABE and is available black anodised, with colour-contrasting adjusters.
