Has anybody tried the Profile Design "Swift Shift" and/or their shift
adapter product with their aerobars? If so, how well does it work?
Does the adapter work reasonably well (it's intended to allow you to use
both a downtube shifter on the aerobar and your integrated shifter on
the regular bars)?
Also, how much does the adapter cost? My LBS doesn't carry them and I
can't find it online either. I did find the Swift Shift for $40.

It's regularly priced at $40 at shops (like us) who do
triathlon setups. Been around a while, it's neither rare nor
exotic. A phone call away for any LBS who cares enough to
close a $40 sale instead of whining.

Swift Shift is simply a downtube lever mount which fits at
the end of a Profile aerobar. Any standard square-mount DT
shifter fits fine with no tools or special knowledge required.

I'm not sure if you implied this or if I inferred it, but
you cannot pass the cable through another lever as with
those new top levers for brakes. If you want to use both
shifters alternately, you're in for a cable change each time.

Thanks for the response.

He doesn't carry them, but has installed the Swift Shift before. He
didn't know anything about the STI adapter, which according to the
catalog is supposed to allow you to use *both* the regular STI levers
and the bar-mounted shifter.

I was wondering if anybody had tried it and if it worked. Looking at a
picture I found on the internet of it with the top removed, it looks
like you set one of the shifters to its most relaxed position when you
want to use the other one, and both cables connect to a block which then
pulls on the cable which goes to the ders.
