Man that thing is TOUGH to twist, even for me! What are some tricks I can employ to make the shifting a little easier on him?
Even the low-end SRAM gripshifters are fairly easy to shift (the Shimano Revoshifters aren't difficult either) .
Sorry to ask this but you're not trying to shift without pedalling at the same time are you?
Alternatively it sounds like a sticking cable. If all else fails the SRAM shifters come apart for greasing easily (use the proper grease or at least another grease designed for plastic/metal interfaces).
