Default bar-end shifters

I, for one, would hate to see bar-end shifters to go the way of the
dodo. While not quite as slick as brifters (you do have to move your
hand to shift)....


I use my thumbs to move the bar-end levers without moving my hands.


When I had a broken hand, I could not shift brifters, but could shift
bar-cons using the heal of my hand.
