TitusTi Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 TitusTi' date=' Marius, Thanks. Now I understand. I tend to take hold of the bigger area (ring) of the grip shifters and shift that. So I do not experience your kind of problems. Regards, casspir[/quote'] I wasn't talking about Mariuss area, I was talking about the big ring, everything you do for 2 hours gets exponentially worse over 24 hours, your hands get blisters on them just from holding onto the bar (on technical courses that is) and you don't need another bit of you hand to get blisters as well.
smallrebel Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I've done the L2L this weekend and no problem with the X.0 gripshifters. Works like 'n dream. What I like the most is the clicks in-between the shifts. You can adjust the derailleur to the perfect position. I've got the X.9 triggers on my fully and the also work with no problems. I would go for the X.0 jockey and the X.9 triggers if I was you. Why am I saying that after my rant a rave over the gripshifters, because it's more likely that you'll like the triggers.
Marius Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Velouria, who you gonna believe, me your friend / compitition / friend of 24hr world champ Ti or Caspir de Vries??? Just kidding, I only went with the Gripshifters cuz some1 told me they don't break as easy as the triggers and becuace they weigh less. Marius2007-02-06 07:19:43
TitusTi Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Have to say it takes alot to break them, I mean I put in a concerted effort and it hurt like hell. As to the weight, I prefer effective over light.
Marius Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 a couple of us are going for a ride at Majik forest tonight if any1 wants to join, we start at the bottom at about 5:45

TitusTi Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Riding Town tonight? You in, have to go to Bowmans to wash my bike first then gonna get going.

fatcyclist Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Marius: you saying the Hog's talk to much crap is like the pot calling the kettle black!
buckshot Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 thanks Ti, Marius can't make it tonight but will stay in touch and organise real soon
Velouria Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 Seems like the new X-9 trigger shifters and derailleur are a popular choice. I might chuck in the X-0 derailleur, or save the money and spend it on another component upgrade... (like a front derailleur, or Stans rims) The surface on my handle bar grips was starting to hurt my hands after the last 24hr - so I can understand the complaint about the gripshifts hurting... (Sorry Caspir - going to go with Marius and Titus...)
TitusTi Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Stans Rims dammit! Now there the **** you're gonna notice!
Mudsimus Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I got a few sets of cracked stans rims, if anyone's interested?
