Thanks Jim! I'll have to ask around to see if I can try some. Maybe I
should switch my Microshift 9-speed shifter to friction to test the waters
in the mean time.
Glen, I used to use rapid fire, but really like how compact and simple
thumb shifters are. When my 11-speed commuter ghost shifts,
I'll be building up one of the new Susies (in green) soon and I'm *debating
my thumb-shifter options*. Do you have some advice?
I'll be setting up
- 9-speed Shimano RD (RD-M952)
- Triple Shimano FD (FD-M953) on a Silver Wide-low double
- Inside-mount thumb shifters on Sim Works (Nitto)
Maybe it is just a white balance issue. They just look so starkly
different.

Thanks Tio Ryan.
Of note, my green Susie just shipped. Exciting.

You might want to compare the stack and reach of your bikes with the Susie,
but you'll need to be careful. If you've added a lot of headset spacers (or
a long quill stem) to your bikes to get them upright, that'll effectively
increase their stack and decrease their reach (because of the angle
Good catch. Not a lot of other sources for photos yet, but this Instagram
post seems to have the ones from Riv's site.
