Resurrecting this thread for my own stupid question. Is it possible to use a thumb shifter at the end of drop or mustache handlebars as a sort of poor man's bar end shifter? I realize that you'd have to give up an inch or so at the end of the handlebars, and cable routing may be an issue. Do these issues make it impossible? Anyone tried or seen something like this?
