Bar-End Shifters in Stubby Bar-Ends
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if Shimano bar-end shifters will fit in the aluminum Profile Stubby bar-ends? For what I am thinking this may work in a better position than Paul Thumbies. Thanks. ---Hillel |

I was actually curious about this exact thing. I ended up pursuing a different solution, but please report back if you do find out. -- Dane Buson - Anarchy may not be a better form of government, but it's better than no government at all. |

Nothing exciting. I went to a bike swap here in Seattle and found some old eight speed trigger shifters for $5. The main reason I wanted to use the barcons was because I had them on hand and I thought it would interesting to try them with the bar-ends. -- Dane Buson - "Drop your trousers here for best results." -In a Bangkok dry cleaner's |

I'm not sure if it will do what you want, but here's a like for you to look at: http://www.paulcomp.com/thumbmtn.html They also make a version for drop bars. -- Dave dvt at psu dot edu Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. -Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionist and novelist (1811-1896) |
