Tidy UP of the OLD Diamond Back Ascent

[Doseone]

The xt thumb shifters can be used as friction shifters as they can be disengaged from the indexing. Can be used on any thing 7/8/9/10.

That's why I bought them. I was off on a long tour and wanted something that was bombproof. If I remember, the bike actually came with Deore LX under bar shifters, but I wanted something that would be easier to fix so swapped them for the XT thumbshifters. The XT's were great and didn't let me down.

My Deore LX shifters are still working fine. Over 20 years old now.

Nah that was just for comedy value. I had to shift that the day before the first pictures occured.

Isn't it time for bar-ends to come back into fashion?

Only on a riser it would seem.
