Rudy, I had bar end shifters on our last tandem and Gripshift on the one before that. I choose Brifters for a couple of reasons, the first one being safety, I did not want to move my hands off of the hoods to shift and the second was weight, the Brifters are lighter than the combination of brake levers/bar end shifters.
