Post I WANT X.0
As i may have finally got myself a job at halfords, yes i know halfords is a swear word to some bikin foke :D, but as i mite actually get a desent wage im willing to push the boat out to X.0 gearing. As i now use one finger for brakin, i find it really annoyin to shift gear, and seeings sram shifters only use one finger, well thumb for shiftin, it would be ideal. A guy at atg 2day n they are the dogs nuts !!!!!

Yeh the sram shifters are far better. As well as the one finger thing, it is also no where near as wide so you can move your lever down the bar for one finger brakeing and fit the shifter between the grip and lever so that you can actually reach it.

SRAM 4 Life!

Shimano really need to take a leaf out of SRAM's thumb shifter ideas if they're gonna be good.

*Super short just to correct your poor typing lol. Super short tensions the chain better so it'll stay on better, go for that one.

Yeh the shorter the better as you get less chain slap.
