The grip shift worked great but I like the thumbies better.
the x-ray stuff (shimano compatible) wasn't that great, but i was not a fan of the triggers, esp after a small spring dislodging rendered my suntour shifters junk.SkaredShtles said:I bought a bike in '96 with Gripshift. I'm still haunted by the horrible experience.......... almost 10 years later.
imo, SRAM finally came into its own w/ the ESP 9.0 stuff (2nd generation ESP). i've used that for a long time. i'm too cheap to shell out the money for the X.0 stuff, but from all accounts i've heard it works great, and i know plenty of friends who were shimano junkies and are now X.0 trigger users.
Yeah - I'd probably try out some SRAM triggers when my current set of triggers breaks and I can find them in the bargain bin.narlus said:
Gripshift was horrid, though.

Who cares, it's me? And your avatar is amazing ..I am starting to understand why a lot of guys stay in the DH forum. I’m not having this discussion. Took a half day and am going out to ride some street. Enjoy flexing your e-muscles…
