I will share a personal anecdote about my V1 shifters. I disassembled them
to switch from being bar-end back to being down tube shifters. When I put
them on the downtube, one of them kept slipping and wouldn't hold no matter

I'm sure that is frustrating! I feel for you. I don't like when anything
mechanical is not functioning up to par.
I only have experience with Dia-Compe Ene 11s. They slipped once on me,
without realizing what was happening. I got home, googled it, figured it

solved the issue for awhile then they slipped again. After switching to
Microshift I not longer had any slippage. I am not an experienced bike
mechanic so my installation may have been off with the Silvers but the
I have completely disassembled and reassembled more than a couple times,
both intentionally and un. I have run my set on both the downtube and
bar-ends on more than one bike, and my wife has a set on the bar-ends of

I've never had slippage. You do have to line up the square piece when
installing them and get the plastic washer lined up too but after that it's
tight enough to hold. The exploded view that Eric Marth will help show you
