[RBW] Re: Thumbshifters
Ahh apologies, I see what you're saying now. I never actually removed the shifters from the clamps so can't speak to that. I just reversed the entire shifter assemblies around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Thumbshifters
Oh, golly! Thank you. I have outbound hemispheric reversal (a fancy way of saying I see the correct orientation bit it gets turned around on the way out) so I frequently have things backwards.

[RBW] Re: Thumbshifters
Thank you. The only issue is I kinda like indexing shifters...

[RBW] Re: Thumbshifters
Hi Kiley. I'm running 9sp Microshift thumbies reversed and it works really well. As Joe says, you install (without cabling) the original left/FD shifter on the right side under the bar, and original right/RD shifter on the left. I'm not sure what you mean by easy to reverse on the holders or cannot be reversed on the holders. For the Microshifts, it should be a simple matter of switching them around and mounting under/inside the bar!

[RBW] Re: Thumbshifters
You swap 'em without cables installed: left goes on right, right goes on left. Then you put the cables on and run them in friction. Once it's done it will seem simple but I can verify the brain takes a minute to grasp the idea.
