Sideshow: Here's a shot of another bike of mine, which uses the same configuration. I added some heat shrink on top of the Pinion barrel adjuster - noodle interface to keep any water from seeping in but that's not necessary if you don't live in an area where there's rain on one day and freezing temperatures on the other https://www.dropbox.com/s/qypk4ohqzynol6v/IMG_1642.JPG?dl=0

What's the story on those j-bend pieces coming off the shifter? Are those the V-Brake noodles from Jagwire, repurposed?

Yes they are. They allow the line to make tighter turn as it normally exits straight trom the front of the shifter.

Smart detail! Heading down to the shop tomorrow to get a set. The vulnerability of the adjuster barrels was an immediate concern of mine with the grip shift. Glad someone (you) had a clever solution to for this!

Thanks! Actually I spied this from somewhere else also. Might have been an article on Nicolai ION GPI... It's strange that Pinion hasn't made their own solution for this because the adjusting barrels really are vulnerable and their direction creates a lot of extra cable length.

Spot on. I'll have to look for that. If it comes to mind and you have the time, it'd be really cool/helpful to see a close up photo of the set up. I'm going to do the same thing, I'm just trying to figure out how it all goes together.
*Edit: found the article with the photos. Helps a bit!
