I have different vintages of X.0 grip shifters on my bikes. I've been a fan since I put on 9.0SL shifters back in '98. I paired them up with the old yellow Gore shift cables and they shifted like butter. Sram seems to push their trigger shifters and putting the grip shifters on the back burner as seen from their recent product releases - no 10spd grip shifters yet. They're still made, you just gotta search for them.
