Hi Ginz,
The nice thing is that if you're using the silver shifters (which are
friction shifters), if you want to go back to the non-inside mount method,
all you have to do is switch them!
cheers,

Plastic, with a little give. Softer than cork anyway. I prefer them with
some cushioning on top.

Laing,
Very interesting! Maybe those Dia Compe's covered with some ESI silicone
tape or similar.
Are they hard plastic? Soft?
Thanks,

Dia Compe makes these, for end mount reversed brake levers, but can be used
for shifters. I have even mounted grips over them for even more diameter
and cushion.

I should also mention that I'm perfectly happy with the bar end shifters on
the Albatross. It's just that finding a grip that works with bar end
shifters, other than channeled cork, is difficult.
I've seen the photos where ESI silicone or Oury has been stretched over the
cable housing but
I run mine ahead of the grips closer to the brake levers. You have to play
with the positioning. I like the look of the cork grips but also got to
where I needed some more cush. The super chunkys work really nicely. A bit
of a pain to get on.

Thanks, I guess I'll give it a try. I LOVE the idea of the cork grips and
the shape, but they are just not working for me anymore and I need to make
a change. Need more squish.

Hi Garth,
I'm thinking of thumbies down by the grip.

Hey Ginz,
I've run albatross bars bars with the Silver 2s mounted inside and really
like it. You end up shifting up with your thumbs and down partially with
your finger around on the outside of the bar. Not sure if that explains it
very well but I think you'd like it. In fact I'm currently
