Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions out of experience of long pull mountain levers that don't interfere with mounting the Silver 2 thumbies inside the bars.

Riv shows this a bit on this product page if anyone has some confusion as to the problem I am trying to solve. Basically the pinch bolt on the lever extends far enough to restrict shifter movement. None of the long pull levers I have lying around work and the suggested Pauls are a bit outside of my budget.

Thanks!

These Avids should do the trick, but the super-cheap-easy solution is to just use what you have with the levers reversed (left goes on right, right goes on left). That's how Riv sets up Clems.

The Paul's do solve the problem. They are pricey but worth it in that they actually improve the braking feel, being so well machined. I got mine from Performance Bike on sale and with a coupon.
