Did they ever make rapidfire pods in this group or where they all 'dual control'?

 

[andrewl]

Dual control only

Dual control only

Is that the shifter/brake combo or the utterly crap hydraulic levers where the brake lever is also the shifter.

I think the term refers to the roadie style combined shifter and brake lever. As far as I know its the same with the V and hydraulic versions. I don't know if they did normal sti type lever.

I have a M960 front mech and hope to get a matching rear soon. Would love to have matching shifters but I have never seen them a M960 standalone rapid-fire pod. Its my favourite XTR group, by far the best looking I rekon.

I reckon they don't do pods. I bought a set of XTR recently and the V's are M960 but the brake levers are M950. They were sold to me as a set as the guy had just taken them of his bike and he used gripshift changers. He seemed like the type of obsessive character that would have had matching brakes and levers if possible.

The bike in this thread....

...is apparently running M960 shifters with Paul brake levers so they must exist, maybe. I have asked for some photos to confirm it.

I have m960 9 speed rapid fire pods only on my klein :?

 

[mikesnowdon]

:shock: How much mate? Where did you get 'em dude?

 

[marin man]

Bought them from ebay about three months ago and they cost me £92 :shock: So I suppose they must be quite rare :? If you have a look at my klein attitude in 1998 up you will see them (klein attitude 19.26lb manitou mars)yum yum
