I have tried but no luck yet.
Yes. A member called fantic26 is making some 10 speed gripshifters:dansbad said:Did anyone ever figure this out? I am contemplating creating a design for a drop in part to convert existing shifters and getting it injection molded if it is practical. You would have to keep the 9 speed rear derailleur since i think the pull on the 10 speed is different; but really I see this as a bonus as only a cassete, chain, and a shifter conversion part would be needed.
Because twisting is a better way to shift.Lelandjt said:XO grip shifters weigh 10g more that XX triggers, so why do this? An XX derailleur is also 10g lighter than XO.
when your hands go numb from the cold, grip shift still works! (try that with triggers, if you can still do it your hands didn't get cold enough yet.Lelandjt said:XO grip shifters weigh 10g more that XX triggers, so why do this? An XX derailleur is also 10g lighter than XO.
I think the weight is pretty much a wash. The grips may be a few ounces lighter once you add in all the clamps and what not needed to hold the triggers on the bar.Lelandjt said:XO grip shifters weigh 10g more that XX triggers, so why do this? An XX derailleur is also 10g lighter than XO.
If you make these I will absolutely buy one. We need a reasonably priced way to make this happen. I suspect with a reasonably priced conversion part, and the newly available reasonably priced 10s cassettes you would find a ton of interest.dansbad said:Did anyone ever figure this out?
