Just to clarify for clarity's sake :D, Paul's Thumbies are not shifters. They are adaptors which will work with 9-spd Shimano bar cons to create thumb shifters.

WebCyclery sells either one or the package but I'm sure wherever you bought the bars will have them also. Note that two clamp sizes are available.

i've been discreetly shoving pictures of thumbies in front of him, while reading him the description of the eclipse brake levers from the Riv site.

..."I'm fine with the way it is" he says...

so...i may have to make another kamikaze move here and just buy him the thumbies, barcons and levers....then ask him to switch them out...for safety reasons.

SO. Riv has some 25.oo brake levers they like...vs the on sale Avid 14.00 levers on webcyclery...is there a big difference between the Avids and the Eclipse? Are they both compatible with cantilevers?

thanks for the links:)

More than you ever wanted to know about cantilevers and brake levers . . . .:D
