Hi Pete,One option that might work is to swap the brake levers left for right,
so the pinch bolt is on the top, then the shifter could go below.Not seeing the
entire brake lever, I can't see how visually unpleasing that might
be...cheers,Andrew in Sydney

Thanks for the pic. Clever mirror placement.
I'm using a Nitto 809 handlebar. It's a low rise, low sweep flat bar that
really only has one hand position, so I need to mount the brake levers and
shifters next to each other. Here's a view of the left grip, with the shifter
on top of the bar, and bell below. As you can see, there's only a few
millimeters of clearance between the grip and the shifter. Under the bar, the
brake lever mount bulges around the mounting bolt. I'm pretty sure the bolt
bulge will interfere with the shifter's throw if I try to mount it below the
bar. FWIW, the levers are Shimano Tiagras. The newish Deore shifter I have on a
different bike has the same bulge.
I like these shifters a lot, but the mounts are a bit low profile for my
situation. Has anyone successfully used the the Silver2 as thumbshifters with a
different, higher-profile mount?

Under works great, here compared to a Sunrace that front shifter. Rainbow in

Hi all, I'd be curious to see how others have mounted their Silver2 shifters on
Silver mounts.
I have them on a old Trek Singletrack. I mounted them on the top. I've found
that the mounts put the shifters quite low -- just above the bar/grip. A bit
lower than I'd like, compared to others I've used.
I think they might be more comfortable mounted under the bar, and I've read
that's how they do it in Walnut Creek. I haven't tried this yet. But eyeballing
it, I think my brake lever mounts might interfere with the shifter's movement.
I've seen the video on the Riv site, but it doesn't show brake levers or grips
installed.
Anyone else been down this road?
