Jtek Nexus shifter... Where?!

[drissa]

Does anyone have any leads on sourcing a Jtek 8-speed Nexus/Alfine shifter?

Every UK listing I've found is, in fact, not in stock. It seems to be one of those illusive products which may not even exist. I haven't heard back from Jtek yet.

I know Genesis use them on one bike, so I assume someone somewhere can source them as spares. I don't even mind ordering one from the US if I have to.

Thanks

Might be worth contacting Madison if they use them on Genesis builds? They might let you buy one as, er, a spare for the one you accidentally broke on your Genesis

For anyone interested/searching, turns out Jtek had a damaged machine and have needed to outsource much of the manufacturing. Still waiting for uk stock.

Is this because you want to use the Alfine/Nexus with drop bars?
