MicroShift Rear Derailleur compatible w/ SRAM bar end shifters?
I'm considering setting up a bullhorn/aerobar set up on my bike and presently have microshift derailleurs. I was curious if the SRAM 500TT bar end shifters would be usable with what I have or if I need to seek a different brand of bar end shifters to make everything work properly? Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Microshift uses the same "2:1" actuation ratio as Shimano, whereas SRAM uses "1:1." I doubt you'll be happy with mixing SRAM shifters with Microshift derailleurs.
Microshift is producing a line of bar end shifters. I've seen these (BS-A09 9-sp and BS-A10 10-sp) on ebay and some UK online shops. I've not seen them offered in the States, though I haven't had reason to look hard or inquire otherwise. The A10 shifters are also produced in a carbon-wrapped design (with red anodized accents) that resembles SRAM's TT shifters. I read a user's review somewhere not long ago in which the comments were quite positive.
Otherwise, Shimano remains an option.
