5.0 out of 5 stars well worth it, May 30, 2008

After looking around, these seem to be the best value for $25, and they and feel solid for what you pay. I prefer these much more than the grip shifters sold at the same price. These are sold as the complete retail set, so you also get the shifter cables, cable end caps, and cable housings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Switch from Grip Shifters, January 18, 2008

By 

AR HR Guy (Russellville, AR) - See all my reviews

I bought these to switch from the original grip shifters. Man was that a good decision ... smooth shifting, easy to install. I put them on my Mtn. Bike and it makes shifting on the rough trail much easier than twisting the grip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shifters by Shimano, August 8, 2009

This review is from: Shimano SL-MC40 STX/Alivio Rapidfire Plus 7-Speed Shifter Set (Sports)

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.
