Shimano Stradic FI Knob

webwalker · July 20, 2011, 09:52:09 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to change my Stradic FI handle knob, I like those nice weightless AL knobs like this:

But I can't find any post who explain it with a minimal detail. I don`t know how to remove the Knob from the Stradic FI handle becouse when I remove the cap, the Stradic FI hasn't the Knob screw pin on it to drill out -like sustains or TwinPower-.
I've changed my TwinPower without any trouble... but what a hell with this FI knob!

Anyone can help me? or maybe the sustain handle fits on the Stradic?

Thank you in advance,

Can you take a picture of the know with the cap removed and post it?

Hi Brian,

Sorry for the delay, I've been out -not fishing-

,
Here is a sample of the Power Knob from a Saragosa, supossed the same of Sustain (the TwinPo is the same), etc...

As you can see, after remove the knob cap you can unscrew it becouse there is the typical cut in the pin (red arrows).
But if you remove the Stradic cap ... the pin is blank !¡ ... I don't know how can I remove it.

I saw a few photos overthere with Straidics with AL Knob, but now I'm thinking that probably the Sustains Handle fits OK into Stradics... and just change the complete handle assembly ... what a hell !
Anybody knows ?¿

Regards

you must have the 6000-or the 8000fi the only way to get the knob off is to drill it out and maybe fit one of the knobs Dawn sells.I don't know why the 1000- to 5000 fi you can unscrew it but not 6000-8000.

is it just me, or were the photos replaced by a red x for everyone else as well?
