## Description

Review: worth the price. - These were as described. Nothing fancy not such high quality. But they work fine, adjust smoothly, and hold their position. Used these on an older 21 speed where the shifters were not working. These are friction shifters, not the ones you click to shift. When I got my first 10 speed (many years ago) this was the only kind of shifter you could get. So I am used to them.
Review: Works great as a stem shifter on 20 speed steel bike. - Designed as a downtube or stem shifter with 30mm max OD. Had to bend the bracket and replace bolt with 30 mm long. Could not install below stem due to lever lever throw being below horizontal for 10 speed rear sprocket. Installed above stem, it looks ok and works perfectly, even smoother than the STI lever shifters it replaced.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this work with 8speed**
A: These will basically work with any speed, within reason. There is only so much cable articulation, so they are better suited for 5 or less speeds, though old road bikes utilized friction shifters (10 speeds). Also, keep in mind these are continuously variable, they will work with indexed cassettes, but there are better options. The problem I've had with these is that, depending on the strength of the derailluer, they don't hold tension well on long or bumpy rides.

**Q: Will this work on a modern derailleur?**
A: It's possible.  My bike was made in 1973 and was upgraded in 1999.  The shifters worked perfectly with the derailleur we mounted at that time.

**Q: Just to be clear on the comments and answers, this shifter set will fit directly onto a handle bar stem that is 28.6mm or 1 1/8 in diameter, correct?**
A: I used several layers of aluminum duct tape around the tube in order to get a tight fit.

**Q: Would this work with a 9 gear rear cluster**
A: yes will work with any number of gears

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbeatable Value.
*by G***. on April 1, 2017*

I tried these shifters as a ~$10 risk on a drop bar mountain bike tourer build. I took a couple of rides to get accustomed to friction vs index shifting, but these have been very nice. I never realized how quiet my drivetrain could be. For mounting, I left the steerer tube on my forks uncut, clamped the bottom with an extra stem, mounted the shifters, then mounted the stem that I used for the bars. I needed a relatively higher handlebar mount in this build, but you could mount the bar stem lower and then mount the shifters above. You can do this, because most steerer tubes upper portion are 1-1/8 inches.
