Auto-correct made this sort of cryptic. Once again: I have a couple of Suntour X-1 FDs that I have been moving around on my bikes. They work better than the STI/Ergo-optimized units out there when not using indexed shifting. They aren't fidgety about trim. The current Shimano panacea (something "CX") is made to live in two places with a half click trim, or so it seemed after removing it and using the X-1. I would trade or sell it if someone was interested. Not to my liking on bar-end shifted bikes.
