chris_w_65 Posted March 15, 2017 Share I bought a carbon bike with SRAM and twist grips as opposed to the normal shimano shifters. Are the Twist grip shifters cool or uncool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like them they are cool, if you do not like them they are not cool. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Brown Posted March 15, 2017 Share Who cares on popular opinion, if you like them, and they do the job, they're cool to you! Enjoy your bike???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted March 15, 2017 Share As previous hubbers have said, if you like them, they are cool! Personally, I prefer trigger shifters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knersboy Posted March 15, 2017 Share Jeepers everyone is being so pc and logical today. Why are grip shifts cool if you like them but bar ends or saddle bags are always uncool? I am just sore cos I have bar ends and a saddle bag..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usxorf Posted March 15, 2017 Share Jeepers everyone is being so pc and logical today. Why are grip shifts cool if you like them but bar ends or saddle bags are always uncool? I am just sore cos I have bar ends and a saddle bag.....A tool roll is apparently "cool". There's no hope for bar ends, though. But I ride with gripshift, so what do I know about cool, eh.

Plentipotential Posted March 15, 2017 Share Grip shifters are very cool, and I'll tell you why. 1. Cleans up the bar.2. Easy to service and repair.3. If you use a FD the grip shifter has the in between adjustments. Saddle Bag is also cool because what other people think of me is none of my business! Bar ends might be cool but they are dangerous, ask me, I know, no stopper on the end of mine, off to hospital for sewing.
