We copied what was perfect: The idea, the guts, and the shape. We surgically inserted the SILVER1 guts (the light ratchet inside, which SunTour dubbed “power ratchet”). It’s a slight improvement over the original SunTour ratchet.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoose the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for a right-hand (inside) thumby or a left-hand \u003c\/span\u003ebar end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor a left-hand (inside) thumby or right-hand bar end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you want having them on the outside, mount the O on the right, X on the left.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch type O to type O, and type X to type X to get the corresponding thumbie mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort story:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThese are friction shifters with a light ratchet.
