## Overview

The IRD Thumb Shifters, Power Ratchet is designed for cyclists seeking precision and adaptability. Compatible with various bar diameters, it includes cables for easy installation, ensuring a smooth and efficient ride.

## Description

Retro style friction thumb shifters using the improved Power Ratchet from the old school SunTour shifters. I remember the XT top mount thumb shifters on my Bridgestone MB-1 to be the most elegant and easy to use solution for shifting ever invented. They could as well be called knuckle shifters because just a slight twist of the hand with the knuckle of the index finger on the lever worked too. Other's obviously think the same since Paul Component Manufacturing makes the Thumbie, a mount for using bar end shifters as top mount shifters. IRD has taken it a step further with the XC-Pro Thumb Shifters and, now, these . Retro friction power rachet top-mount thumb shifters. Shims are included for use with 22.2 mm diameter bars like the Nitto Albatross, Soma Oxford, and Nitto all-Rounder bars. Will work on road bars as well. So get the Paul Thumbies for 55 bucks plus Shimano bar end shifters for 80 to 90 bucks, or get these for 100 bucks.

## Features

- For 26.0mm diameter bars. (Or 25.4mm with shim which is not included)
- Works with 22.0mm diameter bars with included shim.
- Cables included but no housing.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    a bit long
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013*

Work just fine... an alternative to Pauls thumbies... my only compliant is that the lever is a bit longer than some other types of thumb shifters, so you have to accommodate that when you are  using them on a tight bar.
