Works

These shifters work great. I have not had any problems with them. The instructions are terrible, I had to look online to find installation directions from an external source.

easy installation, simple adjustment and crisp shifts rating

The package included a whole set of cables and sheath that were pre-greased. Nice touch! The shifters went on easily and replaced all the old cables with the new ones. Had to do a little bit of adjustment -- refer to the instructions. It came with two sets of instructions one of the front and one for the rear sifter. My mtn bike is over 10yrs. old now, but with the new shifters and a little tune up, rides like new again.

I am a Shimano component person to begin with, so when I needed to replace the worn out non repairable shifters on my 21 speed 1990 GT Tallera I decided on these. These shifters came with new cables - nice surprise. If you are a novice working on bikes I highly recommend reading the instructions that came in the box. The instructions give clear directions on how to adjust the shifters to work with the older derailers. Also make sure you have good wire cutters to cut the ends of the wire. The only downfall is if you want to put them on a riser bar they will only go so far to where the bar bends. Otherwise I like the indicator feature letting you know what gear you are in so you don't have to look down at the gears to see which one you are in.

I got these to replace some old-school thumb shifters. They work really well, and seem to be built well. Plus, they come with cables and housing. Great value, highly recommend if you only need 7 speed.
