My old touring bike has clamp-on dt shifters (no bosses). What is needed to mount on the downtube, some type of downtube clamp-on device?

this should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-DownTube-Shifter-Adapter-28-6mm/dp/B007Q4NKN2/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1383762644&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=downtube+clamp-on+bosses and there is a number of more classically styled one, just search for "downtube shifter clamp on bosses"

We have a local bike store that has a used parts bin--hopefully you have a local shop where you might find a suitable part--you will need something to anchor the parts that would normally be attached to the braze-ons. Hope this helps, though not very specific.

Yes, you will need a cable housing stop, did a quick search http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ca6.htm

Yes I have not used them but I know someone makes a clamp on bracket that has the standard size boss on it.

I went to Dynojet.com and looked up a 2008 touring and the 15-011 is for that bike. You can go there to see if there is a map for your pipes, cam and filter in the map section. You can call them as well and they will tell you what map to use.

2-piece clamps, 2 bolts per clamp. assemble all parts before tightening and aligning. If there are control lever clearance issues, use PVC pipe or similar to create room for levers. This may necessitate using longer bolts than those provided, but the result is a sturdy installation. Provide me with e-mail address and I will send pix of my XT250.

Sorry for the delayed response - out of town. OK - to make this derailleur work on a bottom or down pull cable, the cable must approach the derailleur from under the right side of the bike, wrap over the body (there are small "cast in" cable guides for this installation method) and be installed thru the clamp screw (which is ambidextrous). Hope that helps - Randy @ Prototype Cycle.

It will work, you may need to change to a Shimano shifter and crank set to complete the package. Otherwise you will have issues when shifting up and down.

Ask at your local bike shop, I think there's something called a "stem extender" that might work.

I don't know if they have one or not however I have seen other brands that are adjustable for lowered bikes. Try asking the seller.

These handlebars fit a 25.4mm clamp on your stem. The other popular size is a 31.8mm clamp. So make sure you have 25.4mm bars, or buy a new stem. But you have a bigger issue. I think a windsor tourist comes with drops. You are going to need all new brake levers and shifters, as this bar is a replacement for straight bar or mountain biking handlebars. (It's an AWESOME handlebar for touring, however.)

These do not act as shifters. As a road and track racer, i honestly i dont recommend these levers. i think that the C clamp that you tighten to the handbar isnt strong enough and i had a lot of play after a short time of using them...

My bike has the quick release clamp. I think a clamp with a carriage bolt and nut will work.

Any standard mountain bike handlebar. I have a Truvativ Hussefelt riser bar and it fits just fine. All handlebars are the same where you mount your shifters. It's the clamp area that differs.

It's been some time since I replaced the shifters, but I believe you will use the bike's old cable housings and just thread the new cables through them. The cables come installed in the shifter mechanism and are plenty long so you will need to trim them once they are installed and secured in the derailleurs. It's a pretty easy installation unless the cable housing is corroded or damaged. Good luck.

Looks like that bike has a 7/8 (22.2mm) seat post. You'll need a 7/8 seat post clamp for this seat. If you already have one simply remove the clamp that comes with this seat and slide it along its rails into yours.

I was in a similar dilemma when I purchased my bike, but I am figuring things out. All you need are clamps and screws. They can all be found on Amazon.

It should work fine. I put mine on a Venzo Scud 29er MTB that I built up. The Venzo has a 31.8 clamp diameter.

Yes, for the handle bars. If you got clever with the clamp, you could rig them for down tube shifting, but probably best to leave them on the bars

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens
