[RBW] Silver2 thumbies ARE NOT compatible with VO thumb shifter mounts

2020-03-29 Thread Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles
Oof, good news and bad news.  Found this on the Riv site:

“They hold Shimano 8s or 9s bar-end shifters  so you can still shift and index 
with Shimano thumbshifters. It's a clever idea, a smart idea, a thoughtful one, 
and the world's a better place for these. Paul used to make an adapter to make 
these work with Silver shifters but have since discontinued it. These won't 
work with Silver shifters.”

Good news I have two pairs, one I’ll horde for myself. Joe you can have first 
dibs at the other pair, $20 plus shipping sound reasonable?  I couldn’t find a 
price anywhere...

you can holler on the DM if you want.

2020-03-29 Thread Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles
Looks like my brain matter is still retaining information ok.  I found this 
post from surlyprof/John back in ‘17:

”5.  I moved mine right over from the bar end pods without a hitch.   Don't 
forget that you will need to get the adapter for the Silver shifters 
(https://www.rivbike.com/products/paul-thumbie-silver-shifer-adapter-hardware-pair-17145).
  I forgot about that and it stalled my build for days.  Torture! “

(The link is dead)

Joe I’ll let you know what I find a little later...

Alex, I'll buy a couple adapters if you find them. I have the Paul Thumbies and 
one Silver2 shifter (so far) that I'd like to match up.

I have a vague memory of Paul having a special adapter for Silver shifters

I’ll look up in the attic later because I think I have some squirreled away 🐿

Thanks for checking, Joe! And thanks to you, too, Doug for the reminder about 
the Paul mount working but only as a temporary bodge. 
I’ll keep waiting for the full RIV set up. 
Best, 
Leif

No go on the Suntour mounts, it's a very specific and integrated setup.

The mounts haven't arrived yet. I have one Silver2 shifter and I think an XCPro 
around here somewhere. I'll try that combo for you and check back later today.

2020-03-28 Thread Leif Eckstrom
Thanks for the correction and the photo. 

Does anyone know if the XOXO RIV 2.0 shifters might fit on old Suntour XCPRO 
thumb mounts? I also can’t remember if the RIV designed thumb shifter mounts 
arrived and sold out, or if they’re still in transit. I’ve searched blug n 
blahg but haven’t been able to locate any updates. 
Thanks, 
Leif in Chicago

[RBW] Silver2 thumbies ARE NOT compatible with VO thumb shifter mounts

2020-03-28 Thread Andrew Turner
A while ago I was foolish and pushed a user on here to buy a Velo Orange 
thumb shifter mount to use with the silver2 thumbie without knowing for 
sure if it will work. Well I'm here to let everyone know that they are 
incompatible. The cable would be misaligned and the shifter is simply too 
large to properly fit. 

I'm sorry for the bad info!
Andrew
