Bar end gear shifters?

skyeflyguy

Hi all,
some advice please on the above. I have some Bontrager RXL clip on extension aero bars. The diameter of the end hole is 20mm. Is this standard, and will all of the modern bar end shifters fit this? If so any recommendations on some that wont break the bank. Many thanks.

Garry.

Which make/model mechs do you have, what speed 8/9/10/11 ??

Great thank you. I'm on Shimano 10 speed.

If it was me, I'd grab some of these. You could find them second hand on ebay like this...

...you can run these indexed or non-indexed, so if you changed to something 11 speed you could very likely turn them to their friction setting and be fine too.

Remember buying new you get cables, so that's worth a couple of quid, I also did no shopping around at all to get that CRC link (You can get 10% at CRC if you have British Cycling membership)
