Curious if anyone has ever used em or something like it.
I am thinkning of doing a 2x10 set up with those or SRAM dbl tap flat shifters with a Rival RD and a 11-28 cassette and 34x22 rings. just wondering if anybody has used those shifters.
It will be the same as 8 and 9 speed as the range of dérailleur movement is exactly the same for 8, 9, and 10 speed. The shift indexes are just closer together.
I think the actual ratios aren't so wide apart as 2:1 and 1:1, believe it's more like 1.7 for shimano and 1.2 for SRAM or something like that, but could be enough to not work properly. The SRAM shifter pulls more cable I think I've read...not sure about that.

I have the Thumbies with the SRAM TT levers and a Rival RD- I also have Thumbies with Shimano 9 speed levers hooked up to either XT or Ultegra RD depending on the cog size. Without question, the SRAM set-up is the best- the indexing is spot on, and far less vague than the Shimano levers. Plus, the Red caps on the TT's combined with the black levers and Thumbies look really cool.

Can't use Shimano thumbshifters with the X.0; cable pull ratio is different.
Can't use SRAM thumbshifters with the X.0: 1:1 ratio, but the amount of cable pull per click is different.
XTR/Ultegra bar-con? Good to go :thumbsup:
