We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate shifter. The shimano cable housing is exactly that - it's a simple shifter that hits all the right notes. This bike’s shifts and braking are crisp and positive. It improves cable routing efficiency and provides excellent corrosion resistance. This is the right side 7 speed shifter. It comes with the shifter and the cable without housing cover or crimped ends. This shifter with the lever instead of the push button makes shifters easier with less force needed to shift the gears, and a tap instead of a push to return the shift to a higher gear selection.
Any cable housing will work equally as well because they all generally have the same plastic internal coating. It is easy to instal, and comes with everything you need to get it running.
Why We Like This:
Works awesome paired with 7 speed altus derailleur
Shifting is smooth and provides positive feedback
Works great, easy to install, no adjustments needed

If you often find yourself scrambling for appropriate and satisfactory shifter, shimano new ax shifter should be your first option for buying. The SLS M8000 ir is made to mount with the Shimano compatible brake. It is not quite as smooth as an sram, but it shifts well, with no skips, even under load. The shifter cable pulls the derailleur across the gears in measured amounts depending upon the ratchet inside the shifter. The small lever shifts in both directions, which is nice. It does not have a stand alone clamp to mount to your bars.
The XT shifter works great if you can mount it. It is designed for prolonged enjoyment. The 11 speed has 11 stops on the ratchet while the 8 speed has 8 stops.
