This is the best alternative for kids' bikes that have twist shifters
5/5

It's hard to control a twist shifter for kids, and the one on my daughter's 7-year-old scooter is especially challenging There was no exception to the rule of speed. As a result of trying every possible trick to reduce friction, I decided to throw it out and install this rapid-response system instead. A fire lever system is a better option. I was very impressed with the performance of the unit. It arrived 5 days earlier than expected. In addition, installation was very simple since the unit came with a Removing the old bar grips, twist shifter, and right-hand brake lever will make this task easier. After installing the shifter, brake lever, and new bar grips (use a little dish soap to get the grips on), replace any old parts. Removing the old shift cable from the derailleur should result in it being pulled out of the line, and then threading the new cable in should complete the process. Just a small amount of tuning was all that was needed to make the gears shift smoothly. I got home 20 minutes later with my 5-year-old The year is This solution was superior to any grip shift system, especially for children. My 4-year-old was able to shift up and down the gears on her own for the first time.

The shifter is a perfect alternative to 7 speed shifters
5/5

After breaking within less than a month, I bought this shifter to replace my kids' bicycle. It turned out to be just as described, 7 speed instead of 3, as it appears in the picture. I am very satisfied with how easy the installation was and how my child has regained her smile. * The product arrived within the expected time frame. I consider the price to be fair as well.

This shifter is amazing
5/5

My mongoose malus came with a grip shifter, so I got this shifter to replace it. Shifting has never been so easy and so smooth. Installation is easy and the software is easy to use. As soon as a derailleur is correctly adjusted and tuned, the shifter will accurately select the correct You're the best. This is a great.

The product is well made and works well
5/5

The first time I installed one of these, my limited experience meant that I had a bit of trouble getting it adjusted, but once it's in place and working correctly, it's perfect. For the price, this is a great deal.

It was worth the wait for me to upgrade my Mongoose Dolomite, which is a fantastic model
5/5

Currently, there is a high demand for bicycle parts, so I had to wait a few weeks for this part to become available, but it was well worth the wait. On my Mongoose Dolomite, I switched from the grip shifter (which I assumed wouldn't bother me) to this unit and immediately fell in love with it. It was very easy to install. The process was very simple after watching a video on youtube on how to do it. In addition to upgrading my handlebars, stem, and grips I also added a shifter, so I couldn't tell you how long it would take alone. It took about an hour my first time. I didn't realize just how much the shifter would change my Now that I have changed gears, I feel even more satisfied and simple.

It is convenient for novice riders to have the Shift Indicator Window
5/5

It's great to use these Shimano shifters! The installation of the grips with trigger shifters was easy and straightforward. I am glad that I bought the package deal with the grips that came Due to the replacement levers being narrower than the twist grip shifters, these longer grips are necessary since the original grips on Trek were damaged. Watching the videos from Park Tools on YouTube made the task of setting the cables and derailleurs for the SIS to work smoothly a snap. Having to replace the worn-out tires was a nice change Adding a set of Shimano trigger shifters replaced our twist.

The smooth shifting is worth the price
5/5

The shifter is solid and has seven speeds. The index is smooth. The shifter worked great to replace the stock broken shifter on my electric bike A small issue with this bike was that the long shifter levers interfered with the throttle on my electric bike. However, the issue was not the product's fault.

It continues to work as it did when it was a replacement
5/5

Taking a tip from a local bike shop, I discovered that you can open these devices and clean them when they are not functioning properly. I used it, it worked, but the cover was broken and it was easy to get dirty. This one was relatively inexpensive and I've been using it for a few years. This is an exact replica of the original document. We have put about 300 miles on it so far and it shifts smoothly every time. In other words, it should work. I think the price is worth it.
