Review on ๐Ÿšต 2Pcs EF51-7 3x7/8 21/24-Speed MTB Bike Left Right Brake Lever Shifter Set - Professional Quality by Alex Webster

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall cheap and not worth the hassle.

Transferred from the original grip switch (after 27 years they finally gave up) to these. Thought it would be a smaller footprint on the steering wheel. Brake Levers: If you don't have arm strength like the Hulk, don't worry. Those are fairly short brake levers that are difficult to pull, even with large hands. Same adjustment as the Original Equipment brake levers, twice the force to move them, then hope and pray you stop. Switching system: new shift lever installed at the same time. 7-speed cassette, 7-9-speed rear derailleur. It hurt to adjust. I spent over an hour trying to get this stupid thing to shift all gears. The selector does not go to 1st. Stuck in second gear. Doesn't shift a second until the gauge shows the 4th. In the last 4 shift clicks you then shift into 6 gears. Upshifting is also a problem, 2 gears at a time into 2nd then trying to break the upshift lever to get into 1st. Still showing 2nd place on the ad.
