The shift kit is for deraillers, not brakes. This is intended for 2x drive trains. It comes with everything to recable the bike. The quality of the cable and it's polish is the best. These cables make shifting very smooth and precise, well worth the money.

Best Grip Gear: Microshift Gear Shifter kit

Buy on Amazon

Best part: microshift gear shifter kit costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. These are absolutely serviceable replacement shifters for many 21 speed road and mountain bikes. Microshift probably makes shifters from extra-durable plastic so the falls lead to innocent scratches, never resulting in cracks. It is more of a what is the handle bar diameter, what type and speed derailleur is on the bike, and does the shift pattern match the brand of derailleur, which in this case is supposed to be Shimano. All these shifters are hard to turn when your hands are sweaty or rain soaked.

The pedal gear shifter has three stop positions. It fits 7/8" handle bar tightens with allen screw. It would be the most excellent and complete kit for any bike (new or rebuild, ) and as far as brake lever/shifter combos go.

Why We Like This:

Works great with a shimano derailleur
Easy to install and easy on wallet
Shorter grips and they would fit fine without moving anything
Very great shifter for regular people
