About Gear Levers & Shifters
Make sure the gear levers you choose are the correct ones for your rear cassette - either 8/9 or 10 speed. Also check that the integrated brake levers (if fitted) are cable or hydraulic to suit your brake calipers. Most SRAM shifters are only compatible with their own derailleurs.

Dia-Compe Bar End Gear Shifter Set
I bought these so that I could use the same shifters regardless of what drive train I am running. As these shifters are non indexed they work with all speeds. I have a 6 and a 7 speed spare wheel and also an 8 speed, the rear spacing on my bike is 130 so in the future I may run 10 speed.
I have not tried the 10 speed yet but the other speeds all work effortlessly. A really good buy if you don't want to spend a lot of money on shifters. I think they are the same ones that Grant Peterson has on his Rivendell site under the banner of the 'silvers'. What you get is a versatile shifting system for a just a small layout. Excellent product!

Ultimate Bar End Shifters
These bar end shifters were for a triathlon.
I installed them to Bontrager XXL tri bars with no issues.
The shifters worked faultlessly. I am so impressed with thier function that I am going to keep the tri bars and the shifters on my road bike permanently.
The quality of these items is superb. They have a fine ratchet mechanism and so are compatible with any number of rear sprocket set up from 2 cogs through 11.
I used a jagwire cable set up with them which was a good decision as this worked great too.

Dia-Compe Bar End shifter
I fitted these to short M5 vee bars on a Performer FWD recumbent because with such narrow bars, the factory fitted SRAM twist shifters didn't leave enough room for the brake levers. Even so, the brake lever bosses have to be overlapped. The result is a very narrow 'tuck' position on the bars.
Theses shifters are easy to fit, simple to adjust and very light in their action. I've always preferred friction shifters for the front derailleur because you can fine tune the cage position to stop noise from rubbing. A friction shifter is also more tolerant of the large front chainwheel sizes that 'bent owners are likely to fit. For touring cyclists a friction fron shifter will work better with a triple than an indexed shifter
The Dia-Compes are also 10 speed compatible if I upgrade later.
Top marks for a quality value item.

versatile and stylish
lovely old school lookign bar end shifters. they look nicer than the durace ones the levers on these bad boys are far longer which i think adds to the overall stylishness., but perhaps not quite as well engineered: they feel a bit cheaper.
but... the real killer for these is how versatile they are. because they're friction not indexed, they'll work on anything, 5-11 spd. I bought them specifically for a 7spd. tamden (with a 9spd. shimano back mech- that's compatibilty!), but safe in the knowledge that when i got bored of that particulalr build i'd be able to use them on a old 9 spd. audax bike.
if you like to fit and forget they're pretty good as well: obviously as they are index only shifters you can feather your gears perfectly on long tours without having to readjust. great if you're crossing the andes and don't mind if some of your shifts are a bit sloppy.
oh yeah, and they are very cheap. loads cheaper than shimano.

I want to fit these to road bars for touring. Will I have to drill holes in the bar to feed the cable through?
Country : New Zealand
2 years, 8 months ago
Answers
Answer:
No. The cable runs on the outside of the bar, held in place with the bar tape.Answer:
No, the cables are routed outside of the handlebar. The design of the shifters is such that the cables/housing is secured along the outside-bottom of the drops. I have about 4 inches of the housing under my bar wrap before moving the bar wrap between the handlebar and the shifter cable - this helps keep it securely mounted and prevents interference when gripping the drops.Country : USA

I have Jagwire Barcon mounts (google for "Jagwire BarCon Shifter Mount" - why does no-one sell these in the UK??!) which, rather than having the expander plug to fit inside a handlebar tube, clamp on to the outside of your bars/tribars. The machining detail on these matches the shimano mounts to allow you to fit Shimano bar end shifters onto the Jagwire mounts. Are these Dia-Compe shifters compatible? I.e. if you take them apart, do the Dia-Compe shifters fit onto and work with an equivalent Shimano mount?
Many thanks
Many thanks

Answer:
You can als buy Dia Compe downtube shifters at wiggle. This shifters also feature the ratcheting mechanism. So I guess, the shifters are the same.If I'm right,the bar end mount needs to have standard downtube mount.
Answer:
I am sorry but the only way to truly know this is to dismantle the part and try to fit it to the Shimano mount which is not something we can do at this time. I would recommend checking on some bike forums for someone with a similar problem who may be able to help you through past experience.Answers

Answer:
They have enough pull for 9 speed so they'll be fine. You will need seperate brake levers to suit your outer bars (dia-compe 287if you are using drop bars)2 years, 10 months ago
Answer:
These will be fine for clip on aero bars. You may have trouble fitting brakes to the extensions as well unless you can find a external clamping aero brake lever, most fit in the end of the bar the same way that these shifters do and use internal cable routing. If you are using drop bars still you could keep brake levers in the usual place and ride on your hoods or standard drops if you are in a situation where you may need to brake.2 years, 11 months ago

Hi, interested in these but wondered how easily I could change from my Campy drops to putting these on the end of my clip-on Tri-bars?
Can you slot the cable in or do you need to thread it through a hole and terminate the cables?
Cheers

Top 250 Contributor
Answer:
The cable holder is not slotted, so you need to thread new gear cables into the blade. The existing cables to a campy ergopower lever may not be long enough, so you will need to buy new inner cables and possibly re-think the cable routing on your frame so that the outer cables terminate in the right place.Country : Australia

Answer:
The cables could not be routed inside the bars without some major modifications. However, I've seen similar bar ends mounted on aerobars with external cable routing that did not negatively affect operating the bars, breaks, or shifters.2 years ago
