Wanted Cheap left hand thumbshifter

[widowmaker]

Anyone got a spare LH 3x thumbshifter kicking around, cheap as possible. does not need to be mint, can be rough cosmetically as long as it functions.

Not sure if my post made sense.

I'm looking for a lh thumbshifter to use in friction mode on a touring build, rather than trigger shifters.

I’ve got an XT M730 which I’ve been hanging onto for sentimental reasons but I’m sure it would be much happier out in the wild doing some shifting.

 

[widowmaker]

Has it got a matching RH friend ?

 

[doctor-bond]

It has, but it’s not very functional: might be okay in friction (they’re from the 6 spd era).

 

[widowmaker]

If you want to to part with them let me know, its for a touring bike and wanted to go friction to avoid any adjustment issues whilst abroad.

If you could use a matched pair, would you prefer a properly functioning set of Shimano EM friction shifters (nice ratchet mechanism) from the Deer Head era?
