William - The thumbie's as a vehicle to swap the shifters is really cool, I hadn't thought about that. I'm not entirely wedded to keeping bar-end's so I'm going to have to look at that. Do the thumb(ie) bases stay on their respective bar's or move when you swap bars?
It depends. When I bought the SOMA version, I did so because they were hinged. At that time the Paul originals were not hinged. With the hinged SOMA version you can clamp them with the shim on the bullmoose, and clamp them without the shim on the tops of the Noodles. Also, I lied, or forgot. You do have to remove the shift cables to get the barcon shifters out of the barcon adapter that stays in the end of the Noodles. Duh. I haven't done that swap in a LONG time apparently and the memory is going. My apologies. On Wednesday, August 21, 2013 3:22:47 PM UTC-7, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > Bobby, That's awesome.
