5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shifter Upgrade Option for GMC Denali Road Bike....., November 24, 2011

I an enjoying these shifters on my GMC Denali Road Bike !

I replaced the stock 'RevoShift' units on the Denali - those worked fine, but took up too much handlebar space, and the rotating motion to actuate them was 'un-natural' for a road bike.

Viola ! These shifters are easily actuated by the rider's thumb or forefinger, twice as fast as the prior units, and when mounted up against the handlebar stem, they leave tons of room for the rider's hands across the straight portion of the bars.

Or, they're compact enough if you need to space them outwards, to allow mounting of lights or bike computer inboard of them if u prefer.

BTW, two considerations: They're meant for Shimano 7 speed freewheel / cassette applications, and they really should be mounted only on the thicker handlbars that are 24mm or larger diameter.

They don't close down far enough to mount properly on the older, smaller diameter 22 mm / 7/8" handlbars.

So, hope this is of help to you in considering these shifters.

I put these shifters on my Trek 7200 hybrid after converting to drop bars. They've been on the bike for a while now, and work perfectly. This is an amazing prices for such good shifters.
