Dear Cyclists
One of my friend wants to buy B'TWIN Forme 3. But he is somehow not comfortable with GripShift Gear-changing Mechanism, so I want to know if I can ask Decathlon guys to change the Gripshift to Twist Gear-changing mechanism? And doest it make sense to do this ?

Thank :)

Do you think to change the twist grip to regular thumb shifters?

Is Decathlon ready to change the shifter? I have not seen them stocking shifters, but I could be wrong here..

Yup. This is a simple change and you can do it yourself with a philips screwdriver and allen keys in 4/5mm - both of which will be there in the mini tool kit you probably own. Not sure of the ratios but see if this might work.

@Pradeep, I might be calling it wrong, I m very bad at learning terms... :P . But yes he wants the trigger mechanism.

@Shankar, Great! I will try this, if decathlon guys says no to change the mechanism.

Thanks guys :)
