Don't throw out those vintage downtube shifters - they're the perfect match for city bikes, tourers, and porteurs! They're lightweight, simple, inexpensive, and are compatible with almost any front and rear derailleur. Although, they can be a pain to reach for in traffic.

The VO Thumb Shifter Mounts allow you to mount downtube and bar-end shifters on your handlebars. These thumbies put your shifter within easy reach while avoiding the complexity of brifters. They can even be used on drop bars.

  • Compatible with any standard road, mtb, and city handlebars (22.2 and 23.8mm grip area)
  • Hinged design so you don't need to remove any components or accessories for installation
  • Integrated barrel adjustor to dial in cable tension on the fly
  • They fit Dia-Compe Downtube Shifters, Dia-Compe Bar End Shifters, Shimano 10/9/8 speed Bar End shifters in addition to a ton of vintage downtube and bar-end shifters

Sold as a pair. Shifters not included.

Note: Not compatible with Microshift shifters (the shifter is too tall) or Dia-Compe 11s road/10s dynasys shifters.

Review of Velo Orange Thumb Shifter Mounts

These mounts are a nifty solution to those people converting from drop bars to flat bars. They are easy to mount and position using the supplied shims and look great. Thank you Velo Orange!

Solid, work great

Took a pair of Silver bar end shifters and mounted them on a Tourist bar with these. Very solid, work just fine.

High quality workmanship

This is an excellent shifter holder I am very pleased with it, as I have discovered different placement on the bars, very happy with the functional shifting that it achieves for me.

New der time

I have used thumb shifters on other bikes. They worked well enough to put them on oak old Raleigh Carllton Grand Sport. The problem is this GS does not have a derailleur hanger, it came with a long cage plastic Simplex. I am searching for a der that has an old fashioned bolt on hanger. Since I have a VO triple crank (low 27) i need a loooong cage to accommodate the chain wrap. The hangers, by the way, are not universal. When I find that der i will give you a real review. The fun of doing resto-mods is that they are so frustrating.

Nice mounts

Installed these with Rivendell Silver 1 levers on an SR Alpine Sport, they push a 9s XT derailer.
