Thumbshifters / microshift

[willsdad]

Hi

I know Thumbshifters are retro. But has anyone tried fitting microshift bar end levers to Paul's thumbies?

This seemed like the most likely place to find people who could have had a similar idea.

Thanks

why not just buy the microshift thumbies?

Why not indeed

Just seen some rather nice carbon levered bar end shifters from microshift.

Also £90 for a pair where as bar ends can be had for considerably less even when new mounts are factored in.

Have seen this example of SRAM carbon bar end shifters on Paul mounts: http://g-tedproductions.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/where-is-snow.html

Sunrace 9 speed thumbies are available now for £38 a pair... Well, the left hand shifter is out of stock now:
