Mounting thumbies upside down
has anyone tried mounting Paul's thumbies upside down? how successful was it? do the levers hit the brake lever?
I am using a flat bar with seperate v-brake levers.
Thanks

No. I have butterfly bars rather than flat bars. One of those extension thingies to mount your bag might be a more elegant solution than upside-down thumbies.

Before Shimano made Rapidfire quite a few people used to mount their thumbies upside down and reversed left to right. I still have them mounted that way on an MTB.
