I set up my Puglsey with Genevalle GX shifters and Woodchipper bars, this is the bike I used for the Almanzo 100 last month. My thoughts, I wish I’d gone with bar-end shifters for gravel ridings. I spent most of the ride on the drops and hooks, so shifting the Genevalles was more challenging.
I do some single-track riding with this bike too, and my thought was that I wouldn’t want bar-end shifters on the single-track courses. But it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other.
