Dear all,

Excuse me , I did not follow the start of the discussion on the thumbrest;
therefore may I ask ( because I am interested to buy/install one) :
- what are the different manufacturers, types of adjustable thumbrests ?
- where can we buy them ?.

Thanks in advance for your inputs
Best regards
