...an alternative to my constantly-breaking X7 shifters. A really frustrating issue, losing gear choices at the beginning of a ride. This is SOMEHOW the 3rd friggin time I've managed to break my rear X7 shifter. Seems like it always happens when I slide out really hard onto the drive side. I don't know what it's catching on, but it's pissing me off!
Running a Boxxer with 28" wide Azonic B52 bars. I have smaller hands so I have to mount them nearly straight down so I can reach them. But still don't see what they'd be catching on. I'm sure it's rocks or something, but I can't really change anything anyway.
Gripshifters look like they'd be awfully hard to break, but I'm pretty wary. The last gripshift I ran was back in the early 90s, so I KNOW things have gotten better. Like, hopefully they don't still change 6 gears and back on each jump or pump? I think I'd actually like being able to grab a fist full of shifter and slam it through the gears.
Or what about the X9s? Think the replaceable mount would break first, or rip the bolt out of the housing and simply cost me a more expensive shifter?
