Two Ring Shifter
Two rings and a bashring is gradually becoming more commonplace, as it's great for really technical riding. Thing is, most shifters have three positions and you don't want to overshift. Ok, it's not a really a problem, but here's a neat solution.

One thumbshifter - up against the brake lever, which stops it reaching the third position. Bingo.
(And yes, I know that brake cable's buggered)
Sorry - comment form removed until I rewrite this thing to prevent spam. Don't hold your breath ;o)

Couldn't you adjust the top out screw (doubt that's the proper name for it) on the front mech so it won't go onto the third ring?
It's a much neater solution...

Yes. Smart arse.

Am i missing something here?
Why not just push the lever far enough, but not to far, like when you change gear.

Er, cos inevitably you go over a bump, shift too far, and mash the chain into the bashring.
But as Dave pointed out, this isn't the neatest solution... to be honest I just didn't realise the end stops screwed in far enough to knock out a whole gear :o)
