What exactly are sis gears which, I've been told, are the latest technology press button type gear changing, all done effortlessly.
Can I get my singlespeed giant halfway fitted with these gears? |

Uh, no. "Shimano Indexed Shifting" SIS gears are just a step up (some may disagree) from friction shifters. They "click" into each gear as you move the shift lever, making it easier to accurately shift gears. SIS can be on downtube shifters, barcon shifters, etc and is not necessarily the latest "combined brake shifter" setup. Campag Ergo and Shimano STI are probably what you want. See: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shifters.html But... why are you asking about fitting gears to a singlespeed in a singlespeed forum??!?! hippy |
