Review on 🚴 SENSAH STI Road Bike Shifters Double 2Γ—7/2Γ—8/2Γ—9/2Γ—11 Speed Lever Brake Bicycle Derailleur Groupset Compatible with Shimano Claris Sora (210 PHI – 4600/5700/6700 Compatible) by Roger Weinmunson

Good price, works great, very comfortable

Used this to turn my fat bike into a "gravel bike". I kept my 1x11 MTB drivetrain so the left shift cable is not connected. Installation was easy. I couldn't figure out how to remove/replace the shifter cables, so I wrapped the left cable under the hood and taped it in place so it's ready should I ever want to add a derailleur. Note: These are street switches so are unlikely to work well. MTB front derailleurs without a ratio converter like Wolf Tooth's Tanpan. So far I've found the brake and derailleur controls to be smooth and predictable. The hoods feel very natural and comfortable. The only issue I have is that sometimes I use the bike on a technical singletrack (not what I built it for). I accidentally shifted into a higher gear on steep and bumpy descents with frequent white-knuckle braking. If the descent is long enough, I'll be in top gear.
