Review on ๐Ÿšฒ ENBO Shifter ST-EF500 3x7 Speed Bike Lever Set with Stainless Shift Cables - 21 Speed, No Shift Cable Housing Included by Jason Gopinath

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good product. Be careful when ordering from this seller!

Great switches. They are Shimano which is why I chose them. Installation was pretty easy despite the lack of hardware in the box (more on that below). After setting the cable to the correct tension I went for a test ride and am glad I chose this Shimano EF-ST500. They replaced the stock "rotary" shifter on my cheap mountain bike and greatly improved the ease, speed, and accuracy of shifting. Also, the brake levers are long pull and my brakes work even better than before. This is a good product. And now for the worse. The box arrived as if it had been opened, pierced and everything haphazardly put inside. I regularly buy Shimano products (fishing reels, bike parts, etc.) and know that they are very careful with their shipping packaging. So I wasn't surprised to find the missing hardware. The 3 speed derailleur was missing the hex mounting bolt and the 7 speed derailleur was missing the cable adjuster knob. It's quite annoying when the bike gets disassembled and can't be reassembled until you go to the hardware store to get the parts you need. I blame the seller for not checking the package before sending it. NO APOLOGY! This rarely happens to me with Revain orders and I order a lot of products so I report it when it happens.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
