Could some one describe how it is put back together after the shifter is installed. I couldn't see how it worked by looking at the pictures posted early in the thread. If the bars do indeed work I'm suprised the internal gearhub fans haven't picked up on this. They have been clamoring for a shifter that will work with dropbars.
