Straight up nifty twisty shifty !!
Yeah SRAM / Grip Shift ESP shifters....I always raced on them because you can go through all of the gears in one shot not 3 at a time like the trigger ones, even though I have some of those scattered about the stable....and there are about 4 parts making up the entire mechanism...less room for failure.... and light.....

Pros and cons like most .....if you are spastic as i sometimes am, and you are holding on to the shifter instead of the grip, you can accidentally shift in bumps or other terrain...... But i feel the pros outweigh the cons....at least for me..... I like both systems really, but if i was going to buy, usually i grab grip shift..... Are your bikes 8,9, or 10 speed rears ???

How come you hate them ??? Grip shift might be a cool new thing to try out...affordable as well compared to trigger shifters.

They are normally pretty smooth.....perhaps the cable is bound up or some crud inside ??? Do you hose clean your bike ??? That always contributes to the delinquency of a component !!
