Avid RC TLR22 Triad aluminium topshaft

Avid RC’s new Triad aluminium topshaft is an upgrade for the TLR 22, 22T and 22 SCT to eliminate the special ‘mini’ kit slipper nut and use a standard 5.5 mm hex driver to set the slipper clutch. Born partly for necessity, partly for convenience, racers will appreciate this upgrade as they can go back to using a standard slipper nut. Many Triad customers had issues with TLR topshafts which fluctuated in length and did not allow for proper spring tension on the slipper clutch, this shaft aims to solve that.
