Rob around?
Hey guys,
I'm just curious to see if anyone has heard from Rob in the last few months. Last year I sent back my shifter (my third shifter mind you) which had failed. It had a broken spring and Robbo was helpful via email and wanted me to send it to him to see what cause the spring to snap.
So, a few months later, not a single reply to any emails. I sent him back all three of the shifters I had and am eagerly awaiting the return of my latest shifter with replaced spring.
I'm at the point where I'm considering just giving up and getting a new H-shifter from somewhere else, despite how much I was really trying to stick with Robbo and his products.

Re: Rob around?
Wow, talk about a coincidence. I just got a reply from Robbo yesterday. He told me he's waiting for some parts to arrive and then he'll proceed with customers' shifter repairs. Took a while for him to respond but he finally did and I'm sure he'll have all of our shifters fixed up in no time

Thanks for the reply isamu, glad to hear he's still around! I'll stick it out then.

Yea I hope he is ok too! He hasn't responded to any of my emails over the past few months, but Isamu heard from him after I had sent a few off and he has not responded to me yet.

Norbs knows about it, we told him when he came down to Melbourne for the ride when we were all out for dinner. He whipped out his phone to give him a call then and there, don't think he could find the number though, so we rang Kev instead.

Re: Rob around?
Hopefully Norbs can make contact with him. All I want is working shifter. A shame because his design was the best I've seen among all the other shifters. Felt very realistic and better than the SST&TSWs

Re: Rob around?
I hope Rob's ok, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth
At least I could fix my pedal myself.

Can you please ask Norbs or Kev to phone him again? If they have recently tried, what was the result?DexterPunk wrote:Norbs knows about it, we told him when he came down to Melbourne for the ride when we were all out for dinner.
