Re: [RBW] Need 7 sp shifter and brake levers for charity build.
Joe -- I've been offered a pair of 7 speed thumbshifters for the best of all worlds, so I won't need the twist shifter. Thanks very much for your offer.

Re: [RBW] Need 7 sp shifter and brake levers for charity build.
Patrick - I've got a 7 speed under bar shifter set, but am reluctant to let the go. I will do a ride by today however and check Community Bikes, that has 3 tons of stuff. Cantilever brakes I assume? and an under bar or top mount 7 speed rear shifter? Phil B Sonoma Co -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Need 7 sp shifter and brake levers for charity build.
Joe -- thanks much. I will double check the next time I look at the bike. Think it is all low end Shimano and I think the the RD shifting may be reverse. Will report shortly. Thanks again.

Rather, they make a setup like that, luckily not all of them are such.

Shimano nexus is a grip shift and brake lever in one, and yes, it sucks. On Nov 23, 2012 10:01 PM, "Joe Broach" wrote: > Patrick, I've never come across an integrated brake lever/grip > shifter.

Re: [RBW] Need 7 sp shifter and brake levers for charity build.
Patrick, I've never come across an integrated brake lever/grip shifter. Are you sure they're one piece? If SRAM, do you know if it's an "ESP" (i.e. long-pull) or Shimano-compatibile rear derailer? I might have some Shimano 7-speed grip shifters around.
