Shifter for twist throttle

[anon4]

Where is the cheapest place to get a small rear thumb shifter for 6 speed? I have installed a twist throttle on my bike, with the revoshift gears I can still reach the brake lever but it's a bit of a stretch, want something compact that will bring my brakes back to a more comfortable position

Is it a half-twist or full length throttle you have?

I think you may have to get a 7 speed shifter and set it so that it doesn't go beyond 6 gears?

Its a full length tommie. I'm pretty sure you can get 6 speed trigger style shifters my gfs e bike came with one

Try a search on ebay for 18 speed shifters, there seems to be a few on there quite cheap even though you would have to buy both left and right.

Faced a similar problem with my latest build, ran out of room for the brake lever on the right side.
Had to buy a set of Ergon GC-1 grips made for the rohloff/nexus setup, now theres a half-twist throttle, brake lever, shifter and the half ergon grip on there, all easy to find and operate.
You might have to change to a half-twist item.

That's what her bike has, should do the trick, cheers!
