Since retiring I have gradually moved my single bikes back from bar ends to down shifters. Now that I don't commute and rarely ride into heavy town traffic I find I prefer the speed and clean looks of DT shifters. But the tandem is still bar end because my stoker doesn't like me letting go of the handle bars, and we're never or rarely needing to shift rapidly. But I am considering switching these to thumbies. Has anyone made this transition, especially with drop bars? With friction? How did it go? Do you like it better or worse?
My wife has been enjoying the albatross bars on her half of the tandem and so we have been talking about also switching her single and if I do that maybe I'll install thumbies there too. Do people use this combination and how have they likes it? Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
