Does anyone know? Ms AD prefers indicators on her shifters, but I'm having trouble finding a set.
I will have a set for sale very soon. 3 months old. Just waiting for my X9 shifter to arrive. Contact me if you're interested
I'm with Mrs AD.
Why oh why do they remove the indicators? I use them all the time. 🙂
Widge - would be interested if they are silver or grey and in good nick.

They are silver and 3 months old. Waiting for a shifter to come from America. The front x7 shifter is already off bike, will remove the rear as soon as new arrives. Should be here end of week. Let me have your email address then I can let you know when available and I can send a photo of them.
I said much the same on BR 6 months ago - I cant understand why you wouldnt want them - they dont make it any bigger or heavier (much) and are reliable and work well. The Simano ones are bulky and get in the way of brake levers, so I could understand but the SRAM system is superb.
However, I think (might be wrong) the new X7s without them are the old X9s which never had them, so the shifter is better.
I bought a spare second hand ready for when mine breaks (!) so that I can fit one with a display again.
As much as I love the X9s on bike 2, I've come to get used to the shifter windows on my Shimano bikes.
Having to look down and backwards just to make sure that your chain isn't to badly out of line has caused me more than one off in the past. C'mon SRAM, can we have indicator windows at least as an option please?
