Spring Return for Ball Shifter??

[team222badbrad]

It should be easy enough to do, but I don't think its necessary.

You should be able to slip a spring over the shifting linkage as long as it is strong enough and compresses enough to still lock it into gear.

I don't think so. To shift to the 'other' speed the shaft completely disappears into the cylinder. That is, the plastic 'coupler' needs to be flush aganst the cylinder face. No room for a spring.

But one CAN get spring-return cylinders....
