Keith, the Dura Ace bar end shifters bolt right on and look identical BUT
the rear shifter pods are different. The rear bar end shifters cable track
begins further away from the shifter cable vs a down tube shifter pod.
What this means is after the 5th or 6th gear, the shifter cable is no

I was first going to say what mr ray did: I'm happy with the quality of
the microshift shifters that I have. They're thumbie mounts, but the lever
shape really seems to be intended as bar ends, so they probably work ok in
downtube mode too. Easiiest thing though would just be to get dura ac
Looking for a set of Silver1 shifters if anyone has them. Or any suggestion
for equally elegant and efficient downtube shifters.
How about a nice looking old silver front derailleur?
thanks

Hi Keith -
I've ruled out 10 and 11 speed as I want to be able to swap wheels between
bikes and have several bikes with 9 speed setups.
And I don't care if I have a friction option. Not sure how that impacts
things unless I was interested in brifters (which I am not).
Thanks,
Corwin
On Tuesd
There is a gentleman in the group who lives in Albuquerque. I don't want
to name him and call him out as may not be able to pick up the shifters.
He is quite active on the board, so I will not be surprised if he posts on
this thread soon.

I was not able to locate 9 spd Shimano DS so I bought Microshift 9 spd DS
instead. Like you, I only require index shifting and having used them for
over 3000 miles, the Microshift have worked very very well. They are also
cheaper than Dura Ace.

Just thinking out loud and clarifying before I suggest something wrong:
If you use 10 speed shifters and want indexing, you'd have to use the
alternate cable attachment hack, right?
9 speed era and later, the dura ace cable pull was the same as other
shimano products, so you don't necessarily "

About 18 months ago, my house was burglarized. Among the items stolen was
my Rivendell custom. I am now trying to replace the custom. The frame is
now at Joe Bell's waiting for paint.

Free is a good price. However, Randi Jo for the win! I have used her covers
for years here in the PNW on different types of saddles. She makes
different covers for different saddle shapes. I leave mine all year round.
They last a very long time. Well worth the money.

Pam, I think you have got this figured out.
I admit I have let a few rides be ruined by obnoxious drivers. A close
scrape is scary, and then it makes me angry, and then I am bothered by this
feeling that I need to restore balance to the universe by waving a middle
finger. That's the feeling
both of these sold, thank you.

Just a note to jump on the RandiJo cover, they are 4-5 weeks out. Mine
should be shipping soon! Everything they make is fantastic. Also, get one
asap. I had a Selle Anatomica that got a tiny shower, not even completely
wet at all and it bubbled and pretty much destroyed it. Cover that thing up
Second on the RandiJo cover. For my Brooks saddles, hers is a clever design that features an under-the-saddle piece that slips under, between the two saddle loops and then attaches via Velcro to the cover part under the nose…. Hard to explain unless you see it, but it’s the only cover I’ve been abl

Addendum to that comment cuz I mixed the message: I couldn't pull over in
that second, which was quite terrifying for me. I *did *pull over as soon
as I could and turned around. That town was 15 more miles ahead and there
