Anybody try using a set of 11sp DA barend shifters for downtube shifting?
I'm wondering if the post they mount on (on the part that goes inside the bar) is the same as a DT boss. I know most old-style barends were but haven't put my hands on these.
Also interested in other DT 11sp options.
Thanks,
JC

Doesn't seem to be any different, but I haven't held those particular shifters. You might need the curved spacer depending on your frame.
You'll be the only guy on your block rocking 11s DT shifters.

Yup, plug and play, don’t need curved back plate. Same as 8/9/10 shifter. No 11s DT shifter from shimano.

I also have a leftover set of the 11s TT shifters, NOS, from an abandoned project, cheap.

The bar ends work at the dt spot.
I'm not too sure about the look of the set up.

That's a cool mod. I use 9spd DT shifters on my road bike as I dont care for brifters particularily, and I know Dura Ace makes a 10speed set too, but 11 speed would definitely be cool.
