These dummy shifters are modeled after the shimano grx shifters. They are basically fake hoods and thus the only benefit is to give you the same comfort as regular dropbar shifters. Main purpose is the fixie and indoor trainer bikes with dropbars (like the one in the picture as a zwift setup), where you don't necessarily want to install functional shifters. The fake hoods also look very clean in my opinion.

A previous version used hose clamps (image with orange grips) and is also available for download. It holds much tighter, but was more complicated to attach, hence the change to cable ties for me.

You need the following for installation:
- 2 cable ties per side (maximum 12 mm wide) OR 1 hose clamp per side (maximum 15 mm wide)
- Double-sided adhesive tape

Simply apply the double-sided adhesive tape generously to the underside of the grips and attach them roughly aligned to the dropbar handlebars. Now increase the contact pressure with the cable ties or the hose clamp (tighten firmly). I also recommend wrapping the grips as much as possible under the bar tape.
