Bill--Actually, I do think I get the point.  My friends at Riv decided to 
change the shape of the shifter in light of the fact that the original mold has 
worn out. They could have simply made a new mold in the shape of the original 
which, I believe, is optimized for DT mounting and more than acceptable for 
barend mounting.  Instead they changed the shape of the mold which, as Grant 
points, is no longer optimal for DT mounting, but is optimized for thumbies.  
To me this is a disappointment since I use them as DT shifters.  So, like it's 
predecessor, a beautiful piece of kit that works flawlessly is now lost to 
posterity.  Meh.
