Yes, Silver shifters from Riv fit on standard Shimano bar-end pods. Be aware that they're longer and may hit the frame with the handlebars turned (especially with moustache bars). I recommend adding a pair of replacement plastic washers to your order.

I used my Shimano in friction for a long time, and actually preferred it until this recent problems so I'm pretty sure I'm going to order a set of Silvers. From looking at the Riv site, I'm pretty sure they will fit the bar end pods I'm using with my Shimano, right? -- You received this messa

If you're happy with index, enjoy, but if you want to go friction again Silvers are the thing. I've tried Shimano bar-cons in friction mode and they sck. That little ratchety thing in the Silver shifters is magic. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 6:15:37 PM UTC-7, Tim wrote: > > No, the new c

Great news, Tim. I'm glad that helped. The downside of index is just that the cable tension does need to be correct, but it's not rocket surgery. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 6:15:37 PM UTC-7, Tim wrote: > > No, the new cassette is SRAM 9 speed. And Mr. William Lindsay, sir, you > have sol

[RBW] Re: Help a so-so mechanic with rear derailed issues

If you are using friction then the cable tightness or looseness is not relevant. Either you put the shifter in the wrong place when you shifted into that gear in the first place (user error) or the shifter itself is slipping, not providing quite enough friction to hold the derailer in place.

[RBW] Re: Help a so-so mechanic with rear derailed issues

What happens when the cable is disconnected? Does the derailer stay in high gear? You may need to adjust the high gear limit screw to allow the derailer to travel freely to the small cog. Another possibility is the b-tension screw adjustment. Loosening that screw can make the shifting better, b
