Has anyone tried mounting their Rivendell shifters to Paul’s thumbie mounts?

If so, did they work well enough?

Thank you

Ray

That's a no-go Ray, as Rivendell states on their thumbie product page and as Joe confirmed in your other post.

Thanks Garth,

I should have looked there first.

Cheers,

Ray

No. I tried. You need the center post which the Paul doesn't have.

The Sunrace mount will work, but the center post supplied is too short. One needs to use either a Shimano bar end center post or something similar. Just went through that whole issue on my Sam Hillborne. Ended up just using it as a bar end shifter.

Hi Ray,

The Velo Orange shifter mounts are compatible with Rivendell shifters version 2. I've used them on three builds, no issues. I think the mounting requirements for both shifters are the same, so the VO mounts should work with original silver shifters as well.

Best,

Dave
