I think youre both wrong. He didnt want a water bottle rack there, and had to fill the holes so they just threw the shifter on there with a custom cnc'd lever perch. And in the end it just made sense. No just messin.

Hey thanks captain obvious ! actually it's used just as everyone above has said. why make a custom frame with bottle cage holes when he doesn't want em? seems stoopid to me. he just uses it to keep it clean and out of the way for tricks e.g tailwhip, barspins ect.

that was funny BSal, but sadly it's hard to detect sarcasm over the internet

BSal (Aug 8, 2009 at 16:26)

Yes it is, We need a symbol for sarcasm or something.

Blk-Mrkt (Aug 8, 2009 at 23:14)

Hmmm, maybe this. Just a rough idea can expand on it;

;L or :B

Blk-Mrkt (Aug 8, 2009 at 23:14)

Welcome to Pinkbike.

its a SRAM TT Shifter. its designed for Time Trial Bikes for Track use.

F**king cool Idea though!!!

seraph (Jul 30, 2009 at 14:38)

Not for track use, just time trial. Track is something different. It's basically a bar-end shifter.

Why the ellipsis?

I was trying to reply to your answer to my comment, but clicked the wrong reply, and dont know how to delete comments. Or If you ask blk mrkt, Im a jerk.

seraph (Jul 30, 2009 at 15:43)

Oh well, we're all jerks to someone on Pinkbike.

ow does the shifter work?

spoiledgoods (Jul 22, 2009 at 9:18)

Yeah, its actually Brandon's only shifter. Keeps the bars cleaner, and everything more tucked together.

george-grove (Jul 22, 2009 at 9:19)

looks tidy

but isnt it a bit dificult to change gear?

spoiledgoods (Jul 22, 2009 at 9:27)

On the fly yep, but for someone who does a run at a time i think its just fine for him.

george-grove (Jul 22, 2009 at 9:40)

true

10 0

seraph (Jul 22, 2009 at 12:49)

Actually he doesn't do it to "keep the bars cleaner," he uses a downtube shifter so he can use a hydraulic gyro for barspins.

Colin994 (Jul 25, 2009 at 20:39)

well im sure its both

creamsoda (Jul 28, 2009 at 23:09)

it shouldn't be difficult to change gear when there are a plethora of no-hand tricks in semenuk's trick bag.

you guys are all tards you cant run a shifter through a gyro thats they only reason its there

seraph (Jul 30, 2009 at 14:37)

Dude, that's what I said, only without the "tards" part.
