Melanie-
Sorry for the tardy response, but here are some pictures of the current
build (Jones bars with M590 shifters) on my '88 Schwinn KOM-10.

Hopefully that link works.
Look at the most recent photos (scroll to the bottom) to show the Jones bar
Couple more thoughts, Melanie: I'd forgotten about a very short-lived
experiment i did with trigger shifters on an albatross bar. Ironically, on the
same bike i now wish to try boscos on now, i posted pics in this thread a
couple of years ago:
Clayton, how did you get the clamps past the bend on the choco bar? Could you
share pictures?

Melanie, do those shifters detach from the mounting clamp? If so, I'm
wondering if something like this would work, on the straight section near the
stem clamp:

These are 31.8 and possibly sram specific, but i can't believe someone
That's a nice shifter, Melanie, but I agree it's a bad fit on Chocos..I tried a
similar shifter on a Choco-Moose. The only way it sorta worked was to move up
on the curve, which then felt far away and awkward for me. I think they work
better on bars that don't sweep straight back.

Thanks, for the responses. Tim - I’d love to see your pictures. I’m a novice
at doing my own builds and I seem to have created a losing combination of Choco
Norm and Shimano M590. Back to the drawing board.

I don't have triggers on my Jones Loop, but I've used them (Shimano RapidFire)
on a bunch of bars with a similar sweepback. I think they work well this way,
the front trigger you pull back with your index finger is actually a little
easier to reach at this angle.
I've used them on Albatross,
There a ton of room on the Jones bars and on the Ospreys. I use Shimano 9 speed
on the Joe with Jones. They work great. I got a deal too good to pass up on a
1x crank, and someone gave me a brand new 11-42 cassette for free, so my Clem
L will be a 1x11. It strikes me as a little absurd,
I'm using 3x9 Shimano MTB trigger shifters with the Jones Loop 710 bars on
my '88 Schwinn KOM. There's plenty of real estate on the ends of the 710s
to fit brake levers, shifters, and grips.
Narrower bars may not have enough real estate; I have a set of early Jones
Cut Loop bars in 560 mm which
Funny you should ask, I've been thinking about the same thing. I'm looking at
the Sun race trigger shifters for 10 speed road because they look clean and
would be compatible with my shimano road derailleur. Has anyone used trigger
shifters from them. If I was building the bike up from scratch I
Has anyone found a trigger shifter that works well with swept-back bars? I may
have to install bar ends or go the oddly mounted thumb shifter route. But
triggers near the brake levers would be ideal. Thanks.
