Gearchange rod
« on: March 05, 2025, 11:02:14 AM »
Hi All, I’ve misplaced the gearchange adjusting rod so need to make a new one (originals -new - not available).
Can someone kindly give me the measurements please? Total length, thread diameter (6mm? LH & RH thread?) and rod diameter?
Many Thanks - Bruce

I have measured my old link rod with a set of calipers, I'm pretty sure it was the original one.

Total rod length is 61 mm, the shaft diameter is 7.8 mm.
Left hand M6 thread at the gearbox end - the threaded section is 15.0 mm long.
Right hand thread M6 pitch 1.0 at the shift pedal end - the threaded section is 15.0 mm long.
The main center unthreaded section is 26.0 mm with a taper at each end down to the thread that is about 2.5 mm at each end.

26+15+2.5+15+2.5=61
