I'm presuming you mean any shifter with a downshift thumb button and a trigger type index finger upshift release, i.e. most Shimano shift pods. … Given that you have the option, I think just getting a native 2x shifter is better. One option for this would be the SL-M315 set from Shimano. …

All the surfaces should get a thin film of oil or grease, ideally something that doesn't harm plastic presuming your shifter has plastic washers, as most do. … If so you probably just need a new shifter unless you want to get crafty and find or make new ones. …

There was a remote shifter available for ST-M952 and SL-M952 and some others of the era, so you could shift from your bar end. It actuated the main shifter via cables and housings. …

They won't just work together. However, presuming it's an STI lever other then ST-4700, you can use a Jtek Shiftmate 3 to match them.

Yep, same cable pull for the shifter. … Alfine shifters have the same bar real estate needs as most any other modern flatbar shifter, so you can use pretty much whatever you want that's compatible with your brake, which is its own question that …

I don't know the answer to ST-EF50 in particular, but usually the lever blade (the part that broke here) is indeed able to be mechanically removed and reinstalled, given the willingness to go that dee …

The drawback is that the bigger you make the difference, the sooner/likelier you have to use the trim again as you shift back down the cassette. Or, another way of saying it is that the closer you can …

If you have any kind of circumstance going on that creates the need for high input force on the shifter from your hand, that will make this problem worse. …

There are two ways to do it. One is use Microshift SB-R482 levers. (Sorry, I got this wrong because the image is a little tricky and it comes off a link from their front page that says "inner route ca …
