I see a few historic threads here regarding SRAM shifters and drop bars,
but I don't see the answer to this one. Several ideas for mounting grip
shifters on drop bars have been proposed, and I summarize them here for
future Googlers to find:
1. use an MTB bar-end extension (Sheldon Brown or Alex Wetmore?,

2. make your own grip shifter (Tom Ace,
http://www.qnet.com/~crux/twist.html)
3. use a Minoura Spacegrip (Alex Wetmore?, http://tinyurl.com/5ow8y)
4. modify the grip shifter (Sheldon Brown,
http://sheldonbrown.com/scott.html#gripshift)
I don't see anyone suggesting technique #4 for using the internal gear
shifters on a drop bar. Is there a reason this wouldn't work?
I've never played around with a grip shifter of any sort, so I don't
know if there is a difference between the derailer type and internal
gear type that would preclude this sort of mounting. Thanks for any help.
