Review on 🚡 MS25-8 Twist Grip Gear Shifters for Shimano 3X8 Speeds - Microshift MTB Bike Bicycle DIP Compatible by John Floyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I liked the 3x7 set so much that I bought a 3x8 for another bike.

Restoring a 2003 GT Palomar I discovered these switches while looking for new wiring. I was so impressed with how well they worked on the GT that I bought another kit for a 24 speed gearbox that a friend was having trouble with. The same great results. Easy installation and conversion is better than before. If you are unfamiliar with indexed shifting, see Derailleur Setup and watch the Park Tools video. Adaptation is more than just cable training. Also, do your research to make sure your switches are compatible, and a little rubbing alcohol under the handles will make removal and installation easier. After all, they have no cable end. compresses. So if you don't have them or know how to solder, buy them.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
