I like bar end shifters. But I want to loose the drop bar. I do not mind cutting the drop off some, but then
how do I attach bar end shifters?

I like the bar ends because they offer friction if somthing messes up. They are easy to work on.
There is nothing to go wrong. But my drop bars are to hard to pack.

I have cut drop bars befor just below STI shifters, so cutting is no problem.

Note: I do not nwant to use grip shift on tours. Don't trust them - to much mechanical stuff to go
wrong.
