Yeah, you are probably right about that. I just don't like the word "permanently" very much! Also, It's surprisingly difficult to get much epoxy between two metal tubes; it moves around as you push them together, and you end up not knowing where it is in there. Still... probably worth a try.

But you don't need a pair of shifters for an IGH; one is enough.
