Shifter type

[biggs682]

In the last few days I have used all of the below .

From Sturmey Archer toggles

And indexed down tube shifters

MTB trigger

Time trial bar end style indexed.

Sora flight deck

And then today di2


Trying to decide which I enjoyed most .

You need to try SRAM, then the answer is easy

Your TT bar set up is very very rude. Stick some stars over your bits please.

And the answer is? ..... Shimano

Ridden Campagnolo, SRAM and Shimano. The latter fit my hands best with my favourite being Di2. Others will have different preferences based on a number of factors.

which is why I like SRAM as well as the double tap

DT for me, cheap, light, simple, reliable and you can shift a whole block in one hit :-)

I agree re down tube shifting but its nice to try other's from time to time

Need to do a few more di2 miles before i can really comment on those too much

You've got to try a "clanger" as well. Dont know what it's real name is, but it is a rod operated thing on the seat tube.

No problem with the massive ball on the 4 speed?

That reminds me i need to rewire the lights on that bike

DT friction shifters for me every time.

Also really like the grip shifters on my MTB although I gather most of the rest of the world thinks they're a bit naff.

For novelty value I did enjoy the quadrant shifter I had on my old SA equipped roadster too.

I have triggers on my hybrid flatbars.
Had them for years and basically put up with them.
CX has the Sora shifters.....much better.
