Glad to hear that you came out okay. I go with studded fat tires for icy weather; I don't want to wipe out!
The pods supplied with the Silver shifters are almost completely identical to the Shimano bar-con pods. That means they are completely compatible, but it also means that there is no advantage to switch. Suntour vintage bar-cons seem sturdier; the shifter is ensconced by the pod on both sides, compared to the single side design of the Shimano/Silver pods. If you need a replacement Shimano/Silver pod, ask on the list. On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 10:39 AM, Daniel Jackson < [email protected]> wrote: > I took a digger today on some sweet dirt road ice.
