Silvers do fit directly on sun race bases. You might need to file off a tiny nubby thing. Let me know if you need help.

Ian and Bill, I have a question for you. I decided to replace the Nitto Noodles on my Homer with Albatross bars and ordered the aforesaid Sunraces a week before I encountered this string. Since I used Silver shifters on my Noodles, I still have them. Here's the question: Do they mount to the Sunrace clamps easily or is there some kind of modification kit that is necessary? Thanks.

I use some cheapo click-but-don't-index Sunrace shifters I got from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007QMJH86?vs=1) on my late 80s Rockhopper adventure/mtb. I absolutely love them and prefer them to the Shimano Ultegras on my Sam, which I also run in friction mode. I love the clicks! As far as reliability goes, it's still early on, but for $8-10 a pair, they're a decent bet for a non-top-of-the-line steed, and they performed well during a recent three day bikepacking excursion on the VA MTB Trail. Digression aside, hope you get yours sorted out! I'm excited to try them out this weekend on my buddy's Clem that he bought from a list member.

Interesting, Justin. I have a SunRace 8-speed thumbie which I'm also not thrilled with. It indexes fine, but the action is too hard. Sometimes I have to grab the thing with my whole hand to get the shift. I've used Shimano indexed bar-cons in both positions, and they're definitely softer/easier/better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I have SunRace actual indexed barcons that I'm not too fond of. I think I'm going to widening my handlebars and in that process will probably spring for new barcons made by Shimano. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I appreciate the offer for the spare, but I'll probably get some silver shifters in the near future and mount them on the Sunrace clamp. Just wanted to see if they could get better before they get replaced. Sadly short life span.

I tried these on the Clem I rode at RBW. Kudos to anyone who can ride them, I'm not that guy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I have these on 3 bikes, generally they are OK, but the right one I struggle with from time to time. I recently was using my Rawland which has Silver Shifters and was really noticing how much better they worked Vs. the Sun Race. Check the tightness of the retaining screw, it may be loose!? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: SUNRACE One-At-a-Time shifter maintenance?
I'd also like to know this info. I've been running mine for the same amount of time. My left is fine, but my right skips. It's not as bad as what you describe, and I thought it may even be that I didn't file my brake housing enough and something's interfering with the cable running smoothly through the housing. I know there's mixed feeling about these shifters but I have to say I think they're fun and I like them, so yeah, I'd like to be able to keep em in nice shape, too.

[RBW] Re: SUNRACE One-At-a-Time shifter maintenance?
I don't have maintenance advice but I did disassemble a pair of these shifters to use the clamping part for one project and the cable stop part for another project. The shifter part is the only part that remains. You can just have it if you want. Pay it forward to somebody who needs something.
