I feel the same way about the SA 8-speed I have and its twist shifter. I tried using a friction thumbshifter with it but had too many bad shifts. I see that J-Tek has taken it upon themselves to do what SA should have. Maybe I'll spring for the $125 barend shifter some time and put the SA back into service. Does anyone prefer twist shifters?
