Deore shifters for my new bike
I just bought a Mongoose Tech-4 (I know) and really like the bike with
the exception of the shifter setup. It has the S-RAM grip shifters and are really annoying. The system is much better and smoother than the setup on my Nishiki, but are too easy to accidentally change when off-roading. I want to upgrade to the Deore Rapid-fire setup, but not sure what to get. It seems most everything out there is for 9x3 setups. I have 8x3 gearing with a front disc and rear V-brake. What is the difference between a brake lever for V-brake and one with disc? It is a cable-actuated caliper, so I don't understand what the difference is other than maybe the leverage. I have found a few setups on Ebay, but they seem to be for all V-brake or all disc setups. Could someone point me in the right direction or to a specific model?
