I use xo and works great no issues and when I ride bikes with the levers I miss the ability to quickly shift through the whole range. With the new sram xx grupo not having being levers only at this time I hope Sram is not getting away from them Rant over...Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469303850160738825.post-90906271953929224922009-08-07T07:16:59.978-07:002009-08-07T07:16:59.978-07:00As wise old Yoda said many times: "Personal ...As wise old Yoda said many times: "Personal choice, the Gripshift is.

I think it's just one of those personal preference things though - like hard or soft, 26" or 29", etc. You either love or ou hate it...Fonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504462046067745769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469303850160738825.post-37477092788227410612009-08-06T13:45:49.806-07:002009-08-06T13:45:49.806-07:00Are you spying on me?

I haven't run gripshift since around 2005, but mainly out of the fact that I have bigger hands and don't dig half grips (that and I love lock-on grips).
