Re: Ordering Bimba Cylinders

Sorry, I know this is about a month old.

If I am not mistaken, 1/2" stroke 3/4" bore cylinders may not be legal in FIRST. While you can purchase Bimba cylinders outside of the ones Bimba provides free, you can only use the same type that are offered to FIRST teams. This is off the top of my head but while bimba makes a 1/2" stroke 3/4" bore cylinder, the shortest stroke cylinder they offer to FIRST teams in the 3/4" bore is 1" in length.

Of course you will have to ask Andy himself, but while the shifter could have been built to accept 1/2" stroke cylinders, to make it legal for first, I believe they had to go with a 1" stroke cylinder and limit its travel.

EDIT: I made a slight boo boo. You do need the 1" stoke unless you modify the standoffs that hold the clyinder mount. I think it is designed this way so all the standoffs are the same length. Thats what Jeff from 1138 told me. Anyway, the offer still stands on the 1/2" Sorry I can't get 1"
