Convert index shifter to infinite shifter?
I have a grip index shifter that I would like to convert to a grip infinitely variable shifter (where I determine the appropriate spot for the chain to ride on the gear). I am very mechanically minded. What should I expect when I get in there? What do I need to change? Do I start with removing the grip? The name on the shifter begins with "F" (sorry). TIA
Am I correct in saying that you want to convert your EXISTING shifter to friction? If so, it is pretty easy and works with most (but not all) GripShift...
1) Remove the rubber grip from the end of the handlebar;
2) Loosen the cable fixing bolt that holds the cable onto the derailleur;
3) Grasp the "twist" part of the shifter and firmly pull it away from the body about 1/2". Make an effort not to pull it too far away.
4) You'll notice the cable is routed through the shifter body, around a "chute", and is connected to the twist lever. Inside the body is a U-shaped piece of spring steel. This piece rides against teeth on the twist lever which in turn causes the index. Remove but DO NOT DISCARD this piece just in case your shifter doesn't allow conversion;
5) Reassemble the shifter, attach and adjust the cables, and give it a ride. If the lever slips then your model of shifter won't allow the conversion. If it doesn't slip you are good to go.
