Shift reel and related methods

A method of adjusting an adjustable member, comprising:

• actuating a reel device, comprising:
• a drive assembly;
• an automatic shift assembly;
• and
• an elongate cord;
• rotating the drive assembly at a first drive ratio;
• applying tension on the elongate cord to apply a torque force to the reel device that exceeds a threshold actuation torque force;
• and
• automatically actuating the shift assembly to transition the drive assembly to a second drive ratio of from about 2:1 to about 150:1.

A reel device for tightening a tensioning member, comprising:

• a drive assembly comprising an upper member, a drive axle, and a gear assembly;
• and
• a spool,
• wherein the gear assembly comprises a cycloidal gear and an outer gear, wherein the outer gear is coupled to the spool such that rotation of the upper member and drive axle of the drive assembly in a first direction causes the outer gear and the spool to rotate in the first direction.
