I bought two sets of X - O shifters (aka Silver 2) today at RBW HQ. One set is
going on barcon pods and the other on the IRD stem shifter mount. I’m going to
put one set on my Atlantis but I haven’t decided which set. I’m leaning towards
stem shifters.

Be that as it may I continue to offer my unqualified approval of J Imler’s
proposed experiment of running suntour thumb shifters on the quill of the stem.
Maybe it’ll work great. Maybe it won’t.

I vigorously approve of thumb shifters on the quill stem. I’m having fun
debating with myself which one should be mounted higher. One hand shifts might
be easier with the left on the bottom, but maybe on top.

Could not agree more. I have stem shifters on my AHH and it’s the best
most comfy ride ever. Thinking about replacing my downtube shifters on my
Roadeo.

Yep Joe, you’re right. I recently built up a Clem for my wife with mustache
bars and Silver1 shifters mounted to an IRD stem adapter. Even though I haven’t
handled the Silver2’s in person, I’m pretty positive that the Silver1’s work
better than the Silver2’s on a stem mount. Bill is also
Hmm, the stem mount, I forgot that thing was a thing. This would solve a
problem I have with my right hand..I've switched rear shifters to the left
side, and on my Clem H with a front shifter it's mounted so I kinda manhandle
it with the whole hand to move the shifter (not often in front). With
The real question is how they look and work on the stem. So few people
recognize the truth that stem shifters are freaking BOSS that I just have to
assume it’s up to me to try it first.

Will at Riv recently said the original Silvers would be the better choice for
dt shifters.

Yeah I have both, and I think the original Silvers are the best choice for the
downtube. I'm sure the 2's would work fine, but they seem intended as thumb or
bar and shifters.

I'll be surprised if anyone bothers when Silver1 is so good for it. I just
mounted a 2 on a bar-end and it's short and curved..I think the reach and shape
would be awkward as a downtuber.

Has anyone mounted the Silver2 shifters on a downtube yet? Curious to see how
that looks and works.
