Review on ๐Ÿš€ Enhanced Performance with Tourney Shimano Shift Lever SL-TX30: A Must-Have for Smooth Gear Shifting by John Campos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

6-year-olds can now switch gears! Easy installation for beginners

I don't know much about bike repair and maintenance so I was a bit apprehensive about doing it myself but I was able to replace the shift knob on my daughter's bike with this shifter and it will be up and running in about an hour or so. I was a bit scared at first, but I figured the worst case scenario would be taking my kid's broken bike to a bike shop, cradling my pride between my legs and asking for help. Luckily that didn't have to happen. There are tons of videos on YouTube so I watched a few and it turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. The shifter is easy to use and within minutes my 6 year old was up and running with no problem. The small handles are easy to manipulate and definitely don't require the force required to shift the handle (hell, I had trouble with RevoShift). As others have pointed out, make sure you also spend a few bucks on a replacement bike grip set, as these derailleurs take up less space on the handlebars than a grip shifter and your old grip will be too short. Besides, I didn't realize it. that it was a complete pair of front and rear derailleurs. Another added bonus is that the kit included cables, new cable guides and even cable end caps. This is the complete package. Very happy with this werewolf and now my kid thinks I'm a hero. Victory.

Pros
  • Shifters and Parts
Cons
