ooh, I thanks for the tip on the microshift mounts. Think I'll try some of
those out, I don't like how fat the riv silver thumbie mounts are. The
versatility and hinge are useful, but I'd rather have something less
obtrusive.

If they work with Silver-2, they will work with Silver-1. The mounting
interface for both variants is the same.

That's an awesome find. The hinged ones Riv sells are "easier" to install
for folks who already have their grips installed and can't/don't want to
remove them, but for a fresh flat bar build, those Microshifts are awesome.
The other thing about the Riv ones is that they will fit 26.0mm

They are very nicely made, work great, and the pair comes in at less than
$40.

Yeah, not worth it just for the mounts. *For a few dollars more*(great
movie !), you can buy the IRD Power Ratchet thumb shifter from ebay for
$112.85. I've purchased lots stuff from hat seller over the years.
The Dia Compe ones are $125 from various sellers on ebay too.
Yeah, the Riv ones I knew about. 90 bucks just to mount shifters is really
expensive, though. I was hoping there was another option LOL. Maybe some
will come up used.

As near as I know the only game in town are the mounts sold by Riv for that exact purpose, which you must be familiar with but I’ll link here anyhow: https://www.rivbike.com/products/z558mz-cnv-oialk. Paul used to sell adapters for their Thumbie mounts, but they are neither 1. cheap nor 2.
Maybe this ?

So what options exist for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?
That don't cost a fortune - $60-$70 per shifter seems just crazy honestly.
Is there anything more reasonable?
