Are you able to install shifters at the end of the bars? It doesn't look as if you're able to.

I never tried. I bought these for a fixed gear road bike so, didn't really need to. Sorry I wasn't more help.

The bar ends are open (plastic caps come installed but can removed) and the tube diameter is standard. I can slide in a bar-end brake lever (that's all I have around to test with), so I would assume that bar-end shifters would install just fine. The question at that point would be cable routing. The could come out the back end of the bars, but there is not an exit hole that would route them out the side or bottom of the bars in front of the head tube so that the shift cables could be routed along (or within) the downtube.

Yes, I put a pair of Shimano Ultegra bar end shifters in like a charm. Just take the plastic caps off.

I want to say they have plastic ends so if you are talking bar end shifters you probably can. Diameter would be the only question.

no, this is a brake cable. The barrel ends are of diameter and orientation, they will not be compatible with 99% of shifters.

Just looked at my grips, I don't think you can add bar end mirrors. The extension part of the grip fits tightly over the bar and there is a screw to secure it. Be careful not to over tighten this screw, I have broken it in the past. This is my second set of grips in this style. You may be able to put the mirrors on if you are creative, but I don't think so

Hello, the way I adjusted is that I did not use the middle section. The horizontal bars cannot be changed, but you can shorten the width of the vertical bars. Good luck

Yes, there are bolts on both sides that are used to secure the Shifter assembly. So it could be switched.D

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

No, it is only a shifter, it will be next to the brake lever on the bars. You will need a separate brake lever.

If you can move the grips and shifters off of the bar, these would slide down anywhere on the bar. Not sure if the angles would be right. I havs seen something similar mounted on the middle of the bar. Not sure it would have the same effect.

As for instructions there are plenty of videos on youtube that demonstrate how to install and calibrate the shifters. In terms of ferrules, yeah no one seems to include them. I reused the ferrules from the cables I replaced. I have also used electric wire crimps as well that I picked up from the hardware store.

The ends are open. I haven't measured to confirm the size for shifters though

My giant has exposed cables with housings at each end. The shifters came with approximately 2 feet of housing for each cable. I had no problem installing the shifters on my bike. But I screwed up because I changed my brakes afterwards and had to use the rear cable on the front and buy a new cable for the rear(the new brakes needed slightly longer cables) l had already cut the cables to fit the original brakes(doh!!!) Unless you need housings from shifter to derailer(fully inclosed)you will have more than enough to install these. I think you'll be pleased with these if you buy them. Any other questions feel free to ask. I love them on my Giant Rincon

You may need to adjust them when you install them.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

well I would say no. I put the right side on in 10 min , on the left side I had to enlarge the holes a little bit to get it to fit right , it was not hard and was well worth it they are really nice looking bars and solid once on , so I would buy them again in a heart beat hope this helps , Todd

There is an arrow on top of the bar. Make sure it is facing forward. Somewhere I read if you put them on backwards, that would happen.

Yes - you may have to adjust the shifters a little on the handlebars, but they fit my bike without a problem.

I had that issue as well but I bought some Profile Design Boxer Bar Ends which can be easily installed and give you an upright position when riding the bike. They're available through Amazon as well.

No. You have to buy the mounts separately. Make sure you know the diameter of your bars to get the right mounts.
