Hi All,

Does anyone know of anyone who makes 9 speed thumb shifters?

There was a company called Forge who made a mount for shimano bar end sti levers, but I think they've gone bust.

I'm planning to turn an old pair of drop bars over and chop them aka cheap as chips bull horns, any ideas on fitting 9 speed shifters to those?

Cheers,

Ben

PS: Not a great fan of rapid fires as they dont seem to last.

    SJS cycles make them, almost identical to Forge.

    Though I'm not sure you'd get them round the bend of bullhorns.

    Smooth, many thanks for that. I'd tried Googling but nothing came up.

    Just a thought. Why don't you just fit the bar-ends shifters to the bar-ends. It would be more practical than thumbies as the normal hand position is on the "horns".

    Cheers,
