4.0 out of 5 stars New shifters for Old bike, June 6, 2011

Recently purchased these to replace the grip shifters on a cheap mountain bike. They work quite well, even with off brand derailleurs (x-trac?). Installation was straight forward following the instructions. Adjustment was easy enough. My bike has non-compression cable sheaths, though they are old and due for replacement, so the indexer works perfectly.

The product comes with an indexed right-side shifter (rear gears) and a non-indexed left-side shifter (front gears). Steel inner cables are included and were plenty long enough. The instructions are printed in several languages but the print is somewhat small and not very well translated. If you have never worked on your derailleurs before, seek help from a good bike mechanic.

Also in the box was a selection of short outer cables. I presume to help with cable routing. Some cable lube would have been a nice touch, but was not included.

Please note. Do not cut the inner cables until you are sure of your installation and adjustments. The cables are quite strong and will need special cable cutters to cut properly. After cutting the ends should be soldered or a cap crimped on to prevent fraying.

The only downside to these shifters is that they take up a fair amount of room on the bars. While the attachment clamp is fairly narrow the body of the shifter extends towards the center. If you have a lot on your bars, be prepared to juggle things around for best fit.

Came with directions that were easy to understand and I had it on the bike and ready to go in no time.

Recommend making sure that other parts on the bike are also in working condition before ordering new parts.
