i know the early road gripshifts, but they were just glorified end shifters, no?
suntour? any leads as to what it looked like? are you talking about the 'thumbshifters' that mounted on the drops near your brakes? if so, that's not the idea of COMBINING the systems and using the same lever to do both -- shift and brake.
i never heard or saw any sachs systems at all. any leads as to where i can take a look at that?
the first gen. DA and Ultegra STI worked pretty damn well in my opinion. it could have been lighter, yes, but the operation was excellent in my book. i don't know, but as inventions go, i was very impressed with the concept and execution of STI. and i am a born skeptic.
Where would you want to swim ?
