i recently got a new bike, first in a long time, after being out of mountain biking for a number of years. first time i've used trigger shifters since 1994. They've come a long way, but after riding my old bike today with my daughter, i do miss my grip shift. i'm considering making the change back to gripshift, but don't know that i really want to make the $200 investment (still haven't confirmed if i have to replace the front derailleur too) on a brand new bike. i went through 2 sets of trigger shifters (93' XT version) so maybe will just wait until i destroy this set.
