I'm almost certain the Sunrace indexed thumb shifters are Microshift as well, I have one set of 9 speed indexed Microshift bar-ends and they look exactly identical to the Sunrace shifters (and the IRDs as well...).
But it's good of you to point this out because Sunrace gear is usually sold at a lower price point and indeed I found them at a vendor, Ben's Cycle, who I like and carries a lot of Riv-ish gear. $21.95/ea with $3 shipping available, I will be going this route. https://www.benscycle.com/p-4742-sunrace-m96-thumb-shifter-rear-indexed.aspx https://www.benscycle.com/p-4741-sunrace-m96-thumb-shifter-front-3-speed-friction.aspx Thank you Scot, you saved me $35. -Jim On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 1:30 AM, Scot Brooks <scothinck...@gmail.com> wrote: > The deal with the Microshift thumb shifters and the IRDs is that they work > great.
