  1. Is it possible to convert the suntour down tube shifters (2 chainring in the front and 8 at the back) to bar-end shifters? If so, any recommendation?

    Thanks,
    Tony

    Easily. You can buy bar end pods from Rivendell that will take your DT shifters and put them on the
    end. Or use Campy or Suntour or Shimano bar ends. Phil Brown

  4. FYI I did this will some Shimano RX100 7spd downtube shifters and it works like butter (well,
    indexed butter).

    Go to the rivendell website. They have this bar end adapters. You attach your shifters to the
    adapters and you plug them in the end of the bars. They work great. Here is the link:

    As Rivendell warn, these do not work well if you have a shifter with a non-removable curved spacer;
    however, if you are sure you will not want to remount them on the DT, you can just file them flat as
    I have done with mine.
