Indoor Time Trial position trainer, and friction levers
I have enough spare parts to build a permanent TT frame on a wind-load
resistance trainer. I want to use friction levers for shifting with full TT position, for the training benefits and in case I decide to resurrect it entirely as am operational road bike for training rides or even organized events that allow TT position. I need to buy a cheap clip-on, and cheap friction levers for 10V and double 135mm chain-rings. Where can I get those, and what are good functionally for my stated applications? I would like the shift-levers on the ends of the clip-on, as it typical these days, but I can just as easily put them on the end of the main bar. I don't have any frame mount locations for shifters, just the cable routing on the down tube starting near the head tube. |

Shimano and SRAM make indexed shifters and friction shifters are available from several sources - try VelloOrange or Rivendell for examples. Friction shifters shift any number of gear while indexed generally need to be matched against the make and number of gears. They seem to be pretty prevalent, used in the ends of aero bars, amount the Tri boys (and girls). |
