[RBW] IRD Retro-shift-like levers

http://store.interlocracing.com/porabrlepa.html Anyone have any experience with these? Or ordering direct from IRD? Retroshift, now renamed 'gevenall' which seems dumb to me put out this design a couple years ago. I've been interested in them, but I'm not a fan of the new name engraved all

I have ordered stems direct from IRD. Merry Sales handles everything. They shipped quickly. Dan On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 4:50 PM, Tony DeFilippo vpi...@gmail.com wrote: http://store.interlocracing.com/porabrlepa.html Anyone have any experience with these? Or ordering direct from IRD?

The two reviews I skimmed seem promising but I'd be grateful to hear of others' real-world experience with them in friction. In particular, how do they compare with good ol' Slver BES? (If you attach Silvers to these Tektros, please announce.) Somewhat academic at this point since I'd use them

I have them and used them with Shimano bar end shifters in friction and index mode. They worked fine but the shifting motion takes some getting used to. Not hard, just different. Also, I found that I need to use a stem 1cm shorter than I had been because the shifter is positioned a bit farther

They won't work for me if I have to change my bar position to shift them properly! 1 cm is a lot! That seems too much like adjusting your saddle to settle reach to bar! On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 8:07 PM, Brian Campbell bdcampbel...@gmail.com wrote: I have them and used them with Shimano bar end

Very cool, thanks for the feedback! These will be on the build list for my Trek re-650b project... I did this once already but the frame was a bit tall for me and I've sourced another, right sized Trek. But for now I'm enjoying my Saluki and XO-3 to much to mess w/ the project. :) On Tue, Jul
