not sure if any pictures on this thread include this.....but a lot of these i've seen include chrome/metal housings just off the shift that allow for a quick and sharp bend. The closest thing ive found online are brake cable noodles. Is that what these are or am i missing the right name?

XC204, that is a nice piece of work!
What are the two 'extra' screws 180deg. apart around the lever pivot?
So many bikes, so little time.......

Can you blow it up for me?
I remember trying this out a few years ago but couldnt find a way out since its all plastic and couldnt find a way to properly join a steel lever to it.
keep in mind that if its not weldable im a retard so you might wanna explain it slowly :)
also, the mechanism was broke somehwere, ill look at it later today.
and thanx

It's quite simple!
I've deleted rubber grip from the shifter, cutted off plastic ears that were holding the grip, just left four of them, then putted 31,4mm seatpost clamp so that the gap which holds the bolt was right above these ears. Then inserted the stem that hols the mirror (as seen on a picture) and screwed with 2 M8 nuts. Then used threaded ahead stem for mounting the shifter on a seatpost instead of seatpost clamp.

That's it!
