ISO matching-color Problem Solvers Cross Clamp and DT Shifter Mount in silver and 31.8 mm; also indexed left side dt shifter

[Patrick Moore]

See photos below. I want to mount a single dt shifter on the top tube to shift my new TC and TF hubs (wheels built, been dragging feet in setting them up) and run the cable to roller clamp near seat cluster and down to hub. Don't want to rout cable under bb.

Problem Solvers seems to have what I need, almost; see photos attached from current PS online catalogue.

I'd prefer:

> All silver to all black;

> All black to mixed colors;

> Single shifter boss to double boss.

I have a silver, 31.8mm single-shifter boss mount, apparently no longer offered by Problem Solvers in any color. I will buy the 2-boss mount in black failing better options.

So:

1. Does anyone have a Problem Solvers Cross Clamp in 31.8 mm in SILVER?

2. Does anyone have a PS DT SINGLE shifter mount in 31.8 mm in black?

2. Until I find a way or a metal worker to mount the OEM TF tt shifter onto a 31.8 clamp, I'll use a friction shifter, and I'd like to find one with strong resistance to the pull of the shifting mechanism spring. Perhaps something with strong indexing points?

What do you all suggest? What do you all have to trade or sell?

Again, would prefer color to match clamps.

Thanks.

As usual, forgot some data: I want hinged clamps for ease of installation and removal; the clamps will not (yet anyway) be mounted permanently.

Have you thought about going vintage? The TT was the position for many original  shifters.

I have my Guv'nor 3 speed shifter mounted on the seatpost - not a very ergonomic location, but no roller required - cable goes straight to hub.

The black clamps can be made silver with Easy-Off oven cleaner to strip the paint or anodizing. That is what I did with the black ControlTech stem on my Hubbuhubbuh.

I have the TF shifter, just no way to attach it to the tt.

I used the single-boss dt shifter mount on the seatpost for the S3X shifter, but I'd prefer a tt-located shifting system.

Good point about the Easy Off. May try that if I can't find what I need in matching colors.
