I've had my mountain bike for a couple of months now and looking to swap out the twist-shift gears for thumb-shift.
I've had a look at quite a few on the web and from what I can see, there's 2 different types, gear-shifts on their own or gear-shifts with brakes. Now I would rather keep the installation as simple as possible so I would prefer to steer clear of installing new gears and the brakes.
It has 21 gears (3x7).
Firstly, any recommendations on thumb-shifts to look at, or shops to buy these from.
Secondly, how easy is it to install over the existing twist-shift gears? Is it just a case of swapping out the cable. Or do the thumb-shift require any extra components to be installed.
Cheers
