Road Thumbies
|
These are shifter mounts designed to be used with indexed Shimano bar end (aka barcon) shifters. These indexed shifters are readily available in 8, 9, and 10-speed, and most have a friction option for everything else. Admittedly, we weren't sure at first if these would be a good thing or something kind of gimmicky. But upon testing them, it was love at first ride. Not only did the thumb shifting action of old come instantly back, it did so in a way never before imagined. The bike shifted more precisely and smoothly then ever before. Better in our opiion then trigger or twist shifters. Installation is easy and straight forward. They do not include the shifters; you must provide them. We know they work with both indexed Shimano bar end and downtube shifters. Tech Info:
