Re: Bar End Question

Shimano barcons work well non friction, but they wear out in a few
years and are not serviceable. My other bikes have old Suntour power
ratchet levers - Rivendel sells new copies of these - that last much
longer and are serviceable. These are levers designed for downtube
shifting which I have mounted on Shimano barcon mounts - the levers
wore out, but the mounts didn't ;-} - so they stick out more and that
may be a problem for some people. I have a long waist and short legs,
so it isn't for me.
