No, but i do have a set of pauls adapters to use bar end shifters as thumbshifters.
My verdict on those is expensive, but well made, and therefore, good value.
I appreciate this is not really much help

Yes, I run some on my Stooge.
Very good brakes - if a little expensive 😬

I originally ran them with Paul's Love Levers and was quite underwhelmed.
I then set them up very carefully with compressionless outers and Avid Speed Dial levers and they are MUCH better.
They really benefit from the return spring on the Avid levers, and the ability to tweak the pull ratio.

yeah, they do seem a bit dear, but no moreso than other top end brakes like hopes and higher end shimano or magura.

thanks for the heads up about the avid levers. i was looking at the love levers but will get avids if i get them.

cheers

Yeah it's a pity, as the Love Levers look cool 😎 but the difference in feel, power and modulation was very noticeable.

Paul (on YouTube) recommends using normal cable outers, but they felt too squishy with those, even carefully set up.
