If I can't get a Campagnolo disc rear wheel I might well end up doing exactly the same thing!!

That's it!
how've you attached the changer to the bars?
Did it all work out horribly expensive?

Thanks, that's brilliant!

Whoohoo!
Just stumbled on the new S-A catalogue, and they're doing new bar-end shifters for drop bars for both their 3 and 5 speed hubs!

Can't find prices though...

Have you seen this?

Not exactly what you wanted I know, but it is a good offer.

I have the SA X-RF5 fitted to my flat barred Roadrat. Bloody horrible thing.
Its just failed for the second time(i can only use gears 1,2 and 3) and i'm so pee'd off with it AND the shop who sold me the hub and fitted it that i'd skip it given half the chance just to avoid dealing with it and the LBS.
It must be all of 10 or 11 weeks old as well

Hey ho.


Hello all by the way.

Oh plop, that's a shame
Maybe I should be only looking at the 3-speed ones then. I wish they did a wide ratio 3 speed.

Edit: cheers for the link Redbike, bargain, but not quite what I'm looking for (I think it would be pretty expensive once I put all the other bits on it, even with the free frame!)
