No gripshift is there. Ironic/amusing. But hey.

 I'd kind of forgotten that they even did Gripshift :-/ [edited for Freudian typo]

 Gripshift the pros choice.

 Xloc remote sounds interesting...won't work with an existing Lyric I assume? Mayeb Shimano will start doing forks!
|
|
 It'll be interesting to see if the weights are as claimed or up to 16% more as for some of their roadie bits on weightweenies.

 Some chap on Weight Weenies suggests that Grip Shift will appear within the next few months. Allegedly he has a source!

 There are a lot of people in the know on cycling forums Nick

Damn straight - we are all authorities on everything round here.
I hear a pedal actuated shifter is in the works.

 I hope they don't bring back gripshift - those Wavy shifters I had years ago were pants

They've always shifted the same way. How much for two pairs of 800 X-Rays. One set is in good condition but the shifting is, was and always will be lousy.

Yes, your memory appears to be in better working order than mine Tim
|
|
I dunno Dave, theres a lots of IIRC in there

I seem to remember sachs waveys: which were a twist-shift system which shifted clockwise down the block and SRAM gripshift (x-ray shown, the posh ones) Which were THE gripshift and shifted anti-clockwise down the block SRAM bought Sachs, and the wavy product dissappeared I may have remembered the shifting thing wrong though

Noidea, dunno how much they are worth - both pairs for a tenner (one set for spares)? Just need to find an stx-rc groupset now! That will be infinitley harder considering the chainset was made of cheese

The "posh ones" maybe but the 600s worked better and the black plastic was less prone to cracking that the clear stuff. Let's face it, they were all 'orrible.
|
|
Cheapskate! It'll take a better offer than that to get me to go to the trouble of changing them and paying postage from France.
|
|
he - i have no idea how much they are worth, and had no idea you were in France and assumed they were languishing in a toolbox, not in use! The 600's were the ones that came on the bike, so they would be the proper ones i'd need, but the 800's look a lot nicerer
