@Klar has bar end 1x10 sram set up on her bike

I ride a 2018 Arkose Alfine, with 8spd bar end shifter. Works well, with a rare gear shift caused by a knee bump when out the saddle. I like the setup

I rode an Arkose 2 a lot a couple of years back and really liked the bar-ender. I like the rigid brake levers and the way the shifter was a bit further out of temptation's way, sort of like a variable SS at times. They're not for racers, I don't race so these days I prefer them to STIs for this type of bike. They do work better with bikes where you're in the drops a lot, if you're mainly on the hoods because you slammed your stem you might not like them so much. Still, even then they're not that far away.

I feel I'm getting to a weird place.
Bar end shifter (rh) 10 or 11 speed.
Does anyone have any experience with these on an arkose? It would let me get to a 1*11 setup and actually do some riding on my bike rather than just turbo times.
