The 8 Best Sram rapid fire Shifters (2023 reviews)

The sram cable end is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your daily usage like a dream. The front derailleur 3 speed shifter has multiple detents (stops) not just 3 so you can fine tune the derailleur position to prevent dragging of the chain on the sifter cage. It has two grip shifters in the set with 3 speeds on one shifter and 8 speeds on the other. The micro friction is really a micro index. It is great for mountain or flat-bar front derailleur.

The 3 speed shifter has stops for each speed. Whether your ride of choice is gently rolling terrain or fast down hill descentes, the mrx will follow you there with crisp, positive response on your shift. It also is advisable to have a bike shop adjust once installed. It is compatible with shimano rear derailleur and sram or shimano front derailleurs.

If your 24" wheel bike has the right kind of derailleurs and a 7-speed rear cog, these should work fine.
