Melanie, I found with swept bars, it's best to rotate the trigger shift lever up, so the throw is about 45 degrees downward. (If looking at the end of the bar, rotate the shifter clockwise so the paddle is higher. It's easier to shift this way for me, and I have carpal tunnel and I am ulnar pos

I would stick to 9-speed and go with these shifters for an upright bar w/o bar ends. MicroShift Flat Bar Double/Triple 9 speed Thumb Shifters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CJXMFK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wC87zbK9C5E8A I would go with 9-speed to avoid snags with road versus mountain components not

I've used Deore 3x9 shifters on a 710 Jones Loop and a Bosco, and it works well for both. I found the best position for shifters on the Jones is pretty darn close to the loop. A superlong grip (like the ESI Chunky, which they sell) or just bar tape gives a myriad of hand positions across the ou

Use triggers on Jones bars for both the dropper post and the 11 speed shifter (integrated via i-spec with the brake lever). Trigger on Choco- and Bosco-mooses too. They work great and there is enough real estate on the bars to make them not get in the way. On the Choco I ran the shifter right by
