Review on MicroNEW Shifter Dual Control Levers SB-R483 3 x 8 Speed Trip Shifters for Road Bicycles - Compatible with Shimano STI Lever Set and Road Bicycle Derailleurs by Michael Hall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Requires normal bike setup.

I love those brifters (brakes and shifters)! But you have to set up the bike to use them. This is routine for me as I maintain my bike myself. I just beat them and they worked terribly. As well as every brifter. If you can take the time to set up cables, tension, indexing, high and low limits for derailleurs and rear derailleurs, you will get good results. In comparison, the brakes are easier to adjust. Try the youtube video "Park Tools" - great guide and right. Or at the local bike shop.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Update available
