Double 9 Speed Road Bike Shifters 2x9s for Shimano Shifter/Brake Lever STI Set (2x9 Speed)

These are my second shifters from the same brand under another name, they worked flawlessly for more than 5 years but I had to change them after a crash in a gravel race. The new ones came neatly packed and the installation was quite easy. I have ridden over 1000km now with zero issues and crisp shifting.

Difficult to mount on drop bars. Shift Cables are difficult to access under the hoods, shift cables exit out the side of the levers and problematic if you want to hide cables under your handlebar tape. Otherwise form, function is as reviewed. Not as easy to work on as Shimano or Sram. But considerably more affordable.

I bought these as a replacement for worn out Shimano shifters on a bike that is 25 years old. I love the bike, but didn't want to spend the money for new Shimano's. I waited 2 months to write this review because I wanted to put the bike through its paces before doing so. They work great and are still performing well after a number of rides. Good product and value!

Relatively easy to install, feels like shifting requires more effort and throw than Shimano

Looks good and shifts good on the stand. Feels sturdy. Need to take on the road. I’ll update if anything changes there. Note this is a three lever shifter not two like Shimano.

I've been using these for a while now and seems to be durable. The fit is a tad small for bare hands. When I wear gloves they fit fine. I like the ergonomics as it is like the current designs that are out.

They work much better than I expected. I will buy them again if I ever need any.

Did not work for me

Installation instructions would have been good.
