Thumbshifters

as said, alloy vs steel. the deore ones also had a plastic kind of cover that is easy to break, which was all part of the clamp on teh xt i think (?)
i was going to upgrade back in the day but i got put off by stories of the alloy clamp being fragile. dunno how true it was.
other than that the black/yellow always looked cooler than silver, but the caps are interchangable if you can work out how (they screw in from underneith.)
 
The best thumbies were of course the XTR's.
They were a bit lighter with the chrome clamps and unhidden 8th click. All my bikes have them.
