Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Enhanced Shimano Tourney ST-A070 3x7-Speed STI Lever Set for Improved Performance by Russell Wong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Events. Short circuit on cables.

Will fit on a homemade gravel bike from a 26" mountain bike. I think they should be. They come with derailleurs and cables, although the brake cables were too short and there wasn't enough brake cable housing. How As mentioned earlier, they don't provide enough end caps or tips. If you use a disc brake on your frame, or if your bike has a lot of cable housing between the lever and the brake, you should buy a set of brake cables and housings as a replacement. They shorten the brake cables. Shifting is in Fine. Adjusting the front derailleurs takes some trial and error, and derailleur compatibility is patchy. My biggest complaint is with the brakes. The lever travels too far before engaging the pads, so I had to adjust the pads so that they nearly scratched the rotor.By the way, I use them with highway disc brake calipers begging I'd happily spend a little more and ride the Claris, but given the availability of bike parts at the moment, that wasn't an option. They are alright. They will work if you try to use the 7-step system. But you won't be impressed and you'll probably be swapping them out for better switches soon.
