My wife has them on her Glorius. Compared to Shimano 9 speed bar ends,
the detents are chunkier (takes more effort to switch between) and
they're just a hair off. She sometimes needs to overshift than back it
into the correct gear. But they're 90% there.
Oops, these are the nine speed indexed shifters, not the friction ones.
Sorry.

I've been told the Sunrace is the same as the Microshift (though a big
difference in the cosmetics). My daughter has been riding 9-speed index
Microshift bar ends for 3 years without a hitch. I build my upright this

Has anyone tried the Sunrace shifters? I like a good ratcheting
mechanism...I assume that's what we are talking about, not a
thunk-thunk-thunk like Shimano Barcons.

Jim,
The wording is this...
- SHIFTERS: SunRace thumbies. They click but aren’t indexed. Go figga...
but they’re re- ally good. Metal.

Welcome, Doug. I used the Sunrace Thumb Shifters for a while with a set of
Bosco bars. They worked great. The only reason I stopped using them is
that I prefer bar ends with an Albastache set up. I don't remember any
correlation between the click of the shifter and the actual shift of the
Frankly, Riv's attempts to explain these shifters are probably more confusing
than if you just hopped on the bike and started shifting. The OP's confusion is
understandable.

Hey there Doug -
Welcome to our merry band
Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as a bike with friction shifting.
By that, I mean that it's the shifters themselves which create the
indexing. So - as long as derailleur is compatible with the shifting
mechanism (some systems use 1:1
Jim, that does help and I appreciate the response. I am just confused as to
why Riv says it is a strange grouping of shifter to gears. It seems that
you'll hear the click in the shifter but that may not necessarily coincide
with a shift. Anyway, I'm an amateur in this area and am just confused.
The clicking is probably an internal ratchet mechanism. On an indexed
shifting system, the click of the lever or button corresponds directly to a
shift up or down in gearing. That is not the case here. The ratchet just
reduces the tendency of the lever to move - the cable is under slight

i think this is specific to the sunrace shifters that they are putting on
the clems. i believe they were made for internal gear hubs, but riv figured
out that they work fine for friction shifting too and dont cost an arm and
a leg. i think the confusion lies in the fact that when not used with
I trust Grant not to spec something that wasn't a really useful part even
on their most affordable of bikes. Even when I question some of Riv's
decision I usually find that they are right.
