Does anyone have experience with these shifters? My LHT will be sporting these:
techdocs.shimano.com...6577569830609218.pdf the next time I see it and am curious about them. These trigger shifters are only for road bikes so they do seem rather specialized. I am just happy that we found a solution!

In know they're indexed trigger shifters, that's about it.
I opted for simplicity and value:

they work the same way. They're just friction instead of index

There is a slight difference in hand movement, which when combined with my arthritis and the problem I have with road bars equals PAIN.The pain is really more from the road bars themselves more than anything. Just the simple act of loosely grasping a road bar on a trainer and sitting there causes significant pain - this is the reason for my LHT conversion that I mentioned under another thread related to my LHT fitting. To make a long story short I am switching from road bars to riser bars with trigger shifters.
