Brief background, my wife's 1995 B'Stone X0-5 thumb shifters died after a mild crash. I replaced them with the beautiful Sunrace thumbies from the mothership website. Now she complains...
She has Dove bars (like Albatross but more straight-back at the grips) and cork grips, and she was used to the old shifters being closer to her hands than I can get the Sunracers, when mounted in the "outer" position. She tried them mounted as "inner" shifters but couldn't get the knack of using thumbs to press down and finger to left back up. I also think the shifters are further away from the bar than she was used to, and have a longer swing. When mounted outboard, is there a trick to get less cable pulled so the swing of the shifter is a shorter arc? Maybe that's all about mechanical advantage at the derailer. I'm wondering if anyone else has worked through all the permutations of the "outsider" mounting to find a best way. - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
