My orthos slipped a lot. What I finally did was mount them in a 31.8 four
bolt stem with a shim. Now they don’t move at all. Maybe worth a try. Bill

I’ve had good results with the Park anti slip gel, using a 26mm stem on my
90s mtb and also on another ATB I have that’s running a 31.8 with a shim.
That’s good for general riding. However, if you’re going to ride really
technical stuff and apply a lot of leverage to the bar ends, they’re going

Agreed. Very classy! May have mentioned before that I've owned 3
Cannondales; an M500 from mid 1980s with the 24" rear wheel. a 1990 M2000
and a late 1980s T600
which was a fine touring bike that was also fun to ride unloaded.

Ah, interesting. Only the shifters are Shimano, I stand corrected.

That is how I saw it when I looked at it. Thats why the description points
out that the outer ring sits in a middle ring position. The ring is not

Hi all,
I'm currently using the upside down Shimano method but I'm about to move
those levers to another bike. Who can help me find some silvery long pull
levers with a clamp that doesn't interfere with the shifters?
I know the Pauls do but I'd love a cheaper option if it's out there.
Thanks!

David,
Your RB-T is a nice package. Price seems fair to me. If my stable wasn't
