Suntour Command indexed for Shimano 10 speed.

Suntour has made a quite good bike parts, but they're gone, long gone. I used to ride my road bike with accushift 7 speed downtube shifter. Today I use the same shift lever but it is modified to perfectly index for shimano 10 speed cogset. The same internal parts works many of Suntour Accushift shifters including the legendary Suntour Command (aka butterfly shifters), XC Pro thumbshifters, XC LTD, Superbe Pro, GPX, Sprint, SL etc....

I happened to find hundreds pairs of Suntour Command shifters a few years ago, and have been selling them by converting for 10 speed,  for 3 years.

And lately, I've semi-mass produced the index parts  with some improvements. Now I'm about to assemble them into the very last pairs of Suntour commands.



[Updated 2017-04-21] I do have a lot of index plates for shimano 10 speed.

  11. hello naokit,
    found your blog in a bicycle forum...
    I'm interested in such a ring and emailed you - your email is still in use? Do you have analog solutions for other Cassettes or a solution for full friction only? For full friction only I would have two ideas to aproach to a good result.
    Let me know, if you are interested in talking it through.
    Bye, Dani
