Paul Component Announced Machined SRAM-Compatible Thumbies

PRESS RELEASE: Paul Components

Some people just like thumb shifters! They’re simple and reliable, you can rip through a huge number of gears in one sweep, and on some shifters there’s even a “friction” setting in case you’re riding with a bent derailleur hanger, frayed cable, or mismatched drivetrain and the indexing isn’t lining up quite right.

For years now we’ve been machining Thumbie perches that enable you to convert bar-end (aka “Bar-Con or TT”) shifters into thumbshifters. These have been super popular amongst people converting drop-bar road bikes to flat, MTB riser and sweepy city handlebars. They’ve also become a cult classic on custom touring/adventure bikes where people prefer a simpler, more reliable mechanism or a multi-position touring handlebar (like the Jones bar). Up until now we’ve offered them in Shimano and Microshift versions, but people kept asking for a SRAM version, so here we are. These have a hinged clamp for easy installation and are compatible with 10 and 11 speed SRAM bar-end shifters, but NOT with their “R2C” (return to center) time trial shifters.

Precision machined out of American 6061 Aluminum to the highest tolerances here in sunny Chico, California!
