Another bike that has needed a bit of attention is my eldest’s Charge. It’s a great little bike: not quite as light as an Islabike but then it’s got massive chunky tyres and disk brakes. She’s loved being able to razz around the woods on it as well as riding on the cycle path. She’s always struggled with the grip shifter though - finds it hard to change down (pulling against the spring I guess).
What do you mean by thumbie and indexed bar shifter? (Im Probably being dim here). I did think about an indexed thumb shifter - I though she might find that harder than a 2 lever style shifter though.
