Talk:Shifter (bicycle part)

Preliminary cleanup/expansion

I've done some merging/wikification here. Still needed is a discussion of friction vs. indexed shifting.

Here's an outline I wrote up a while back:

1. Lead/intro
2. Friction shifting
3. Indexed shifting
   1. Twist shifters
   2. Trigger shifters - Shimano rapidfire
   3. Integration with brake levers - racing STI, Ergo; mountain Shimano dual-control on LX, XT, XTR
