ok, so I have DA shifters on my atlantis, and I just wore out the right shifter for the third time in 6 years. I'd love to convert to Silver bar end shifters. Is it easy to do? -ts On Sep 5, 5:00 pm, Seth Vidal skvi...@gmail.com wrote: On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 7:58 PM, d2minid2creat...@gmail.com

It's fairly easy. You don't have to worry about the indexing adjustment. On Sep 8, 8:53 am, sanjoser thomas.savar...@gmail.com wrote: ok, so I have DA shifters on my atlantis, and I just wore out the right shifter for the third time in 6 years. I'd love to convert to Silver bar end shifters.

I recently converted my Dura Ace bars ends with Silver levers using the DA pods. Wow, what a difference! MUCH better. Dave - Original Message - From: Jay LePree To: RBW Owners Bunch Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 11:09 AM Subject: [RBW] Tried and LOVED - Silver Bar End
