I've used the Shimano inline gear indicator on 3 bikes and love it. However, it's specific to the 9 speed drivetrain. Is there a comparable product available for either Shimano or Campy 10 speed?

Campa ErgoBrain is available as 10s as well as 9s.

Where did you get yours? it sound like something I might like to try but have not seen it in my LBS. Is it pretty easy to install? How does it work?

i had a test ride on a DA10 bike a couple of weeks ago with one of those gadgets. pretty cool and apparently available for DA10 -- unless it was a 9 speed unit that they used?

I had an ErgoBrain. I almost never paid attention to the gear display. It worked, but I opted for a different cyclocomputer with different functions. I just don't believe gear display is worth it. It takes up space I could have for HR, speed, and distance functions.

this isn't a computer -- it's a little mechanical pod that's inline with the cable itself. it reminds me of a bubble on a level. i thought it was useful.

They originally came on DA equipped 9 speed groups. Ask the service or parts people at your local LBS - they can usually be had for $5 or less. Handy little buggers that get installed inline with the rear der cable right out of the shifter. They do look like a level or bubble type indicator but it's just the cable wire with a "donut" that slides up and down with the cable shift.
Can anybody confirm that Shimano has a 10 speed version?

My "04" Roubaix Pro w/ DA10 had one on the bike when I bought it new from Supergo.

I have one on my dura-ace 10-speed set-up. I don't really look @ it much (I have a flightdeck, so it's easier for me to glance down @ the display), but I'm assuming it's for a 10-speed. If I remember, I'll check tonight! (锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you have it if you have a flightdeck? doesn纾 the weiht really slow you down?

I didn't do the build (actually a swap), my LBS did the mechanicals, and when I picked up my machine, there it was!
BTW, I trim my toenails before I ride, so the extra weight is negligible. (锕侊箒)~~~~---------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally Posted by bac

Shockingly, I remembered! Ten gears indicated indeed:

I get it now. The ones I have (9 speed version) should work on the 10. For on the 9, the "donut" lands on the lines and on the 10, it lands between the lines. 9 lines = 10 spaces.
