Not suitable for Shadow RD 10 Speed

3 / 5
ConsDoes not have the range for Shadow RD 10 speed
ProsLooks good
Although this is a friction shift shifter. It does not have the pull capacity for modern shimano Shadow RD 10 Speed. I have tested it on an XT mech (T8000) for the last 4 months. No matter how it is tuned, it can only cover 9 out of the 10 gears. A pity as it looks nice but I’m going to have to replace it.

ConsNot available in black
ProsCost-effective and well made, simple to install, friction level is adjustable without tools
Perfect, friction only, bar end shifters. Easy to fit, easy to set up, easy to use - especially as you can trim the either mech in tiny increments because there is no indexing. Used to replace Shimano bar ends when the tiny little indexing spring broke when I swapped bars.
Neat and simple

ProsSimple, adaptable
Used to move old tube mounted friction shifters up to my handlebars. Can be used with a range of gears as they are not indexed (I'm using them with an 8speed). Nothing complicated about installing them and used standard length cable. Seem well made and should last.

Dia-Compe Bar End Shift Levers - Power Ratchet Friction Control

ConsGeeting them straigt on the bar is a bit fiddly.
Prosworks with any combination of gears
These were to be used on a new Time Trial bike I was putting together. As I was running Camagnolo gears with a shimano wheel and sprcokets, the friction control was ideal for shifting gears.

They come without cables, so be aware that you will need an extra long rear cable. They fitted well although a bit fiddly to get lined up. Worked well with a smooth change and given time and experience probably as good as indexing. At half the price of Campag good value.

Can you use with shimano GRX 11 speed rear
By
29 Jul 2024
being non indexed it should work, however we have not tested this, the only issue might be enough cable pull to match the range of 11 speeds. SK 30/07/24
could you please confirm if these levers will work with 11 speed? Kind regards Simon

Hi - These shifters are friction not indexed. They will work with any gear system or number of speeds.
Does the rear shifter have enough range to cover all the cogs in a 29-12T 10 speed campag cassette?
By

Hi
Thank you for your enquiry. The rear shifter should be fine with this gearing range, its friction so should cover most ratios up to 11 speed.
Kind Regards. JP 10/07/23
Can I use this with 6x3 speed mountain bike?

Cable routing
By
16 Oct 2020
Do these levers route the cables outside the handlebar (under the tape) or inside, therefore needing cable ports in the bars?
No, these are externally routing.

Will they work with an XT 9 speed rapid rise rear mech?

Can I use this with a 11 speed shimano RD-M 8000 SGS shadow rear deraileur?
Hi,
As these shifters are not indexed you can use them with anything! Just set the limits as normal and each gear is selected by you adjusting the shifter lever.

Thanks.
