## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well-made and easy to install.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013*

My bike had a matched set of Shimano GS200 components.  When I had to replace the shifters because they failed, I found that the stock (plastic) levers were just too wide to allow for adequate reach to the the replacement shifters.  I ended up purchasing this set and couldn't be more pleased.  They are very sturdy, have a nice action to them and are very lightweight.  The package was comprehensive and included all cabling, housing, ferrules and cable ends.  Installation was very simple, even with my cantilever-style brakes.  Some other reviewers had mentioned that they didn't receive cables - that was not the case with Amazon fulfillment - mine came in full retail packaging with everything needed for install.

    Excellent Product, Great Price, Really Fast Delivery
  

*by B***F on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013*

You know exactly what you'll get with a Shimano product. Mechanically, their products are excellent, reasonably weighted, workmanship and quality control pristine. The main variables are price and where to buy. The pricing from Green Mountain Outfitters doesn't get any better... I've checked around... several times. The service doesn't get much better... ordered on a Sunday... delivered by the next Saturday. An earlier reviewer mentioned that they didn't get a complete package... you should have contacted them to have the problem rectified. I got a full,factory packed retail package with all cables, housings, ferrules, etc. This is not the easiest component in the world to find anymore. This vendor delivered it very quickly at a very good price. Can't get much better than that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good, but...
  

*by A***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019*

Good product and works as described, but I wish the tightening screws and adjustment tighteners were metal and not plastic... Gives it a cheap feel and not sure how long they will last on my mtb
