Paul Components Thumbies - 7/8 - Silver 342-174-02

These are designed to be used with indexed Shimano bar end (aka barcon) shifters. These 8, 9, and 10-speed indexed shifters are readily available, and these shifters also still have a friction option for everything else.

Admittedly, we weren't sure at first if these would be a good thing or something kind of gimmicky. But upon testing them, it was love at first ride.

Not only did the thumb shifting action of old come instantly back, it did so in a way never before imagined. The bike shifted more precisely and smoothly than ever before. Better in our opinoin then trigger and twist shifters.

Installation is easy and straight forward. They do not include the shifters; you must provide them. We know they work with the Shimano bar ends, but they may also work with some down tube shifters as well.
