any of you live near walnut creekers have intelligence on arrival of thumb mounts for silver shifter 2's which I bought months ago. 

is there a workaround with other mounts? got a bike at the shop now and would like to put the silver 2's on a bullmoose bar.

thanks for any advice.

To get an update on the mounts, call Riv.  They are skeleton crew and for all we know the mounts could be there but updating the site is item number 37 on the list of things to do.  

The best workaround that I know of would be to buy these https://www.interlocracing.com/shop/product/56020-ird-power-ratchet-thumb-shifters-3885 

Use the mounts for your XO thumbshifters.  Use the shifter parts off of the above to make a really nice set of friction barcons.

Will is very good about putting supply updates in the weekly newsletter, as well as Instagram. We'll know about the mounts when they come in.

I'm in the exact same boat so I ordered the VO shifter mounts. Though I haven't used them with the thumbies personally (those are still in the mail), others have with good things to say. A little pricey but the quality surpasses Paul's IMO.

I can't say 100% since I haven't personally tested. I truly don't see why they wouldn't since they work with DT shifters, theirs included which are basically the same as silver power ratchets. The shifter's due to arrive either this weekend or Monday so I'll keep you posted.

The newsletter says they have the mounts but waiting on shims. Listing on the Riv site should be by the end of March.
