    Hey y'all

    Has anyone ever heard or seen an XT rear shifter (8 speed)
    that would mount on the left side of the bar. That is that
    it looks like a front shifter but is actually an 8 speed
    rear shifter.

    Me neither, but some guy on eBay is convinced his xt shifter
    is for the rear when the photo clearly shows that it mounts
    on the left.

    cgi.ebay.co.ukeBayISAPI.dll
    3775&category=16143

    I even emailed him, and he is adament it is for the rear.

    What does everyone think?

    Fortunatly it is a nice and clear picture, with lots of
    detail... so you can easily be sure of what you are
    seeing...</sarcasm

    Yup. Pretend you're looking at the front of the bike
    not from the cockpit, but from, say, directly over the
    front tire.

    It's possible one such item does exsist - I some parts of
    planet they run front and rear break levers on mtb's like on
    motorbikes so why not reverse the shifters as well.

    Kind regards

    Yeah, forgivable though given the quality of the picture.
    Took the liberty of leaning on the gamma a bit to clear the
    pic up somewhat

    www-student.lboro.ac.ukxt.jpg

    I'd guess the guy took the picture on one of these 'camera'
    mobile phones : s or something similar with fixed focus.

    As far as i know the regional preferences for shifter
    position are the same in all countries, unlike like for
    brake levers.

    £11.50 for the one? Wonder what my pair of XT 8 speed V-
    brake levers / shifters in one would be worth?

    There is a set of them going for about £30 just now on
    eBay.co.uk

    I could make a profit. But then I'd have no shifters :P.

    Oh man, I know where this is going to go!
