Rimini 5 speed box

[Train Driver]

I was told at Mb making a strong gear was the easy part it was the selector that caused problems.
Rimini would easily sell a few hundred, even if you didn't use it you could have it in the garage and show and tell when friends came round

simply can't see the point, most people arent even going 60, if you want to save fuel then why not up gear the engine?? i didnt find i needed anymore gears last year and im sure that i wont have a relevation this year. they are another bolt 0n accessory, i might just get 5 speed painted on my panels, whose going to know??!.its a fancier jelly filled keyboard for internet scooterists, an isle of White upgrade for money bags mod yachts. if anyones so interested in saving fuel money then why spend a hundred quid on a binge drinking saturday at a scooter rally?. stay at home and mow the lawn. best of luck to them though, i do understand and admire innovation even pointless innovation.

Maybe a bit like having Arther or Roy on your panels when neither have ever seen the motor?

I wouldn't call it pointless innovation, and it's purpose isn't to save fuel.

Huge benefits for low powered/tuned vehicles with engines that overheat when laboured - If you can't see the point, try driving a car using only 1st, 3rd and 5th!

I think a 5 speed box will improve many TS1/RB type motors into something many people want. It'll make it much more tractable and even out any gear step/rpm issues. A great innovation IMO.

Think they were over 1k.

£1800 i was quoted

As I understand it he was pestered into selling it

so what was the ratios of this box?

Or step over the untractable nature of the engine.
A tractable engine is the one that can pull the four speed box without dropping out of the power.

I said make it MORE tractable, this will apply to any 4 speed motor. If you use Avantone's gearing calculator along with data of your motor's useable torque you can see why a 5 speed box is better.
