• It's what I'm doing on my P5 for next year. Got the Cateye buttons and everything. Isn't your Shiv single ringed up front? If it is (like my P5 is going to be) you don't even have to hack up a set of proper shifters. You can use the SW-R600, which is a lot cheaper at about 60 quid.

  • Yeah I had a quick look at those - no idea why I bought DA ones for the ultra bike!

    I'm not sure it's worth it the way I ride the Shiv these days but if I was doing a LEJOG or something I'd probably get it done.

    Could also use their climbing switches if you don't mind the greater bulk.

    The SW-R600 is the climbing switch. You could use it as it, albeit it would be rather bulky, but I already have one which I gutted and fitted flying leads onto the internals. I used it with microswitches buried under the bar tape, but now I'm using Zipp aero bars on the S2 (which don't have tape on the tops) it's not really usable on the S2 so it's going on the P5 instead. No great loss, as I never got into the habit of using the switches on the tops of the S2 anyway.
