Re: [RBW] Options for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?

ooh, I thanks for the tip on the microshift mounts. Think I'll try some of 
those out, I don't like how fat the riv silver thumbie mounts are. The 
versatility and hinge are useful, but I'd rather have something less 
obtrusive.

If they work with Silver-2, they will work with Silver-1.  The mounting 
interface for both variants is the same.

Re: [RBW] Options for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?

2023-11-13 Thread Bill Lindsay 
That's an awesome find.  The hinged ones Riv sells are "easier" to install 
for folks who already have their grips installed and can't/don't want to 
remove them, but for a fresh flat bar build, those Microshifts are awesome. 
 

The other thing about the Riv ones is that they will fit 26.0mm which can 
be super slick if you want to put it on the tops of your Noodle bars.  For 
those using them as 22.2mm shifters, that may be a downgrade, because you 
have to use shims, and you'll probably be annoyed if you lose one.  

Anyway, a set of each in the shifter box would be a strong nice-to-have.

i believe Velo Orange, and IRD have their own versions as well which are a 
little bit less.

depending on how comfortable you are with sourcing parts of questionable 
origin, but there are some options on aliexpress that look to at least be 
compatible, but you run the risk of ending up with problems like poor 
tolerances or bad threading.

Yeah, not worth it just for the mounts. *For a few dollars more*(great

Yeah, the Riv ones I knew about. 90 bucks just to mount shifters is really 
expensive, though. I was hoping there was another option LOL. Maybe some 
will come up used.

As near as I know the only game in town are the mounts sold by Riv for that exact purpose, which you must be familiar with but I’ll link here anyhow: https://www.rivbike.com/products/z558mz-cnv-oialk. Paul used to sell adapters for their Thumbie mounts, but they are neither 1. cheap nor 2. currently in production, so would require some scrounging. Jay LonnerBellingham, WASent from my Atari 400On Nov 11, 2023, at 8:13 AM, Jon Craig (Vendraen)  wrote:So what options exist for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?

[RBW] Options for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies?

2023-11-11 Thread Jon Craig (Vendraen) 
So what options exist for converting Silver-1 barend shifters to thumbies? 
That don't cost a fortune - $60-$70 per shifter seems just crazy honestly. 
Is there anything more reasonable?
