I love my X0 Gripshifts, and also my ancient Xray ones from 1996 that are still going strong. I also love the Shimano triggers on my other bike. They’re both good ways of changing gear. I have to say though that whilst I’ve killed a couple of trigger shifters (on one memorable occasion with nothing more than some ferns, no really), I reckon you’d have to really batter a gripshift to stop it working. Your bars would probably snap first.
I’ve never had any problem with accidental shifting on the gripshifts – maybe some people just have fat hands… 😉
they’re a lot fatter than, say, an ODI grip
Hmm, mine taper down to the same size as an ODI lock-on, and they fit really nicely.
I didn’t know there was an extra click on the X0s, very interesting.
