The left, quickly followed by the right hand grip shift has failed on my MTB.

Would more experienced cyclists recommend that I find similar replacements, or that I substitute levers or some other means of changing ratios?

Im not mad about them, if Im honest. Youd suggest trigger changers then?

I have those trigger changers on mine, and have to say I prefer them. I liked the grip shifts for neatness, but the trigger changers are far quicker.

Hate grip shifts. They always seemed to change gear when I was jumping something, must be the way that my hands gripped/moved on the bars.
