Used these shifters to replace twist grips on my mountain bike. The twist grips were almost impossible to twist, these make shifting a lot easier. I had forgotten about these, I had a mountain bike with this type of shifters 20 years ago, and never had any problem with them, so it should have been a no brainer. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it comes with no instructions, and you don't really need them, but one cable is longer than the other, and I had them installed before I realised the cable would not reach the back shifter, so I had to take them back off. Only other minor issue is there is no tension adjustment, and the spring on my front deraileur will sometimes make it move just a little, not enough to pop out of gear, but every-now-and-then I have to nudge it back over so the chain doesn't make noise rubbing on it, but very minor issues...Over-all they've made my bike much more enjoyable.Read full review

I converted my high end Klein Quantum road bike to an upright (neck and arthritis problems). No indexed-shifter would work well with my triple-chainring. Although these friction shifters come as a pair, I only used the left one (chainring), and it works perfectly, even better than my Ultegra STI did. Not the most attractive, but who cares? They were also very inexpensive.

It is absolutely fantastic. The item is great. My previous bike shifters had broke. These new shifters are awesome.

These thumb shifters are easy to install and work well with all types of derailleurs. A good substitute for broken index shifters.

Ever since replacing the worn-out cassette on my old hybrid bike, the index shifting hasn't worked right. Probably the new cassette was incompatible or something like that. I never liked index shifting anyway, and these inexpensive friction shifters provided a quick and easy replacement for my rear grip-twist rear shifter. The really great thing about them is they're adaptable to numerous situations you might have and will work well with various drive train setups. They're not elegant and are actually rather cheaply constructed, but they get the job done at a very reasonable price, and should be more than adequate for almost any cyclist.
