I put air in my tires today and took my trike for a short ride today. It is the first ride in about a year. I was disappointed to find that the gear shifts which is some kind or rubber was extremely tacky and left a lot of black residue on my hand. Can these be replaced cheaply or with a different kind that will not deteriorate in the same way ?

I looked at the Micro shift website didn't see them selling the "half grips" for their DS85-8 shifters. You may try contacting Microshift. Good luck!
Yes you can change the grips out. You have a rear derailleur set-up, or a Nuvinci rear hub wheel? If derailleur yes you can go with the "trigger"/ paddle/lever/"rapid-Fire' type shifters. As long as the shifters match your number of rear "cogs"/gears; and the size chain you are using, 8,9,10, 11 speed chains. Hope this helps.
