Grip shift

<< < (3/3)

snipe:
after numerous thumb sprains on my left hand I went to grip shift because it was easier.  I actually got used to it very quickly and had no issues with it.  That was the nine speed carbon XO series and I used it 3x and 2x with bash.  never had a failure. Shifts were crisp.  The early versions had numerous clicks on the front derailleur so you could actually trim it a little if you had to.  the newer versions had 3 click definite detentes.  But when I went to 2x10 it seemed that the FD throws were easier than I remembered and I went back to triggers.  Now with XX1 of course its not an issue at all.  I did try the gripshift xx1 but found the detentes a little soft and people commented on missed shifts.  I kind of miss the grips and the ability to grab a handful of gears really fast.   I think the triggers with integrated brake levers like ispec make for a much tidier and adjustable handlebar.  and its easier to fit in dropper remotes etc.
