That might be tough to find. The tragedy (irony?) is there are probably some sitting in the back room of tri shops around the U.S.- ah heck, there might be some here! I'll check for you. (time passed) ahh, nope, we have a historical cross section of virtually every aero bar made in the back but no shifters.

I entered "profile shifters" into the standard search and came up with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/...&item=1985748434

Tri-Zone used to sell them as well, so you may wish to contact them to see if they have any left in the back.

Thanx for the info! I did give Tri-Zone a try a few months back, but they did not have any

Try Cheetah's website (They make Natasha's Cheetah...meow). They sell the original Grip Shifts for 9speed Shimano. They aren't cheap, but if you really want them, that's where to go. I would order them soon, b/c it may take a little while. Also, if you do order them, switch with the UPS- the GP's are alot lighter.

If you need help, I would ask Bunnyman. He's a good point of contact for them, since he has done business with them in the past.

Good luck,

Rob

There is a set on ebay

I wonder why this product after several faiuled attemps never really caught on. I used them for years, and thought it to be the best shifting set-up possible for aero-barmounted shifters.

They were a bit of a pain to install and you had to fiddle with the cable tension quite a bit to get the shifting dialed in(perhaps I have answered my own query, right there), but when they worked there was nothing quite like the feeling of just twisting the wrist slighytly and almost effortlessly shifting up or down on the fly!

I think Nytro in San Diego had a set on the wall a while back, try them too

and here I always thought the SD was for South Dakota.... hmmm

and LA is Louisiana, right?

LA is "Lower Alabama"; that's what I been told

Happ New Year Everyone!!!!

I have a set and can say I am not impressed with them. The rubber grips slip when wet and make it a challenge to shift. I have put rubber bands on mine to reduce slippage. Also there is no stop at the end of the rotation so the cable just continues to unwind from the spool when down shifting, then you have to wind the cable up again (by turning the shifter) to take up the slack to upshift again. Not a big deal when training, but it is annoying when racing. Its a good idea but poorly developed.

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

I have not experienced the problem(s) you have???? I have been using the Profile UPS grip shifters since they were "introduced" to the market. Is it possible you rec'd a "bad" pair with improper machining on the internal rings????

No - LA is Lawrence... Kansas that is. Boulder of the flatlands... Berkley without the coast. The only civilized and cultured place here to live.
