Best Shifters?

[VamP]

Shimano XT SL-M780 shifters are on the way in the mail. If they work as well as the XT dual-controls I've had for 13 years, I'll be happy. I'm just hoping that I can give the gear display the heave-ho and find a little plastic cover plate for the open wound. Im reading that it can be hard to come by. What the..? I wonder why Shimano stopped including it with the levers. A small piece of plastic.

The XTs I bought a few months ago included the little cover plate.

SRAM is a four letter word beginning with S.

In fact SRAM is not a word at all. It's merely a conglomeration of the founders names; Scott, Ray and sAM

Thanks, VamP! That's encouraging. I'll open them when they arrive and let you know.
