I recommend this product

Wanting to simplify, and minimise complexity and cost, I decided to revert to the tech I used in the Sixties, and I was not disappointed. The product means I can use any of my cassettes without faff, or without buying brake levers etc. My Campag Super Record, with a Wolf's Tooth, well covers from 11 to 30. I think now I'll try an eleven cassette with a 32 bottom. Great product make cycling easier to maintain and service.

ProsEasy to fit and worked perfectly

I was surprised how good these levers worked on my 10 speed Campagnolo set up. It’s a pity these weren’t available when down tube friction levers were the norm.

Excellent

Really nice well made item. Looks the business on classic style bike. Simple light action gear shifts and works with any gear, no worries about indexing which is brilliant if you want to mix gear systems. Easy to set up and operate.

Drastic Upgrade over Indexed Alternatives!

ConsNONE!

ProsAllow extremely accurate shifting, easy to setup.

These give beautifully accurate gear shifts and promote harmony between rider and bike. Simple to setup as your derailleur can be tensioned by preference for greater lever travel or faster changes. You feel more connected with your bike as you feel your way through the gears.

I will be buying these or the other friction models from Dia-Compe for all bikes I end up owning. These shifters are a huge upgrade on indexed alternatives!

Ratchet yes or not

By Enrique Vallano MRICS

Good afternoon, I bought a similar product dia compe gran compe but it did not have power ratchet. Is this an improved version?
I would be interested to buy them if they have the power ratchet. But they look like the ones I bough a couple of years ago with friction but no power ratchet.
I would appreciate your confirmation. Thank you

SJS Customer Service:

This is the current version of the shifter, we do not have details regarding previous versions. SK 08/07/25

Mounted as thumb shifters on flat handlebars?

By Philip

I currently have SL-MY15 shifters on my bike. They were great until the plastic cracked. Could I keep the bracket and replace the shifter with these, perhaps?

SJS Customer Service:

Sadly no that wont be possible, you would need a separate mount (item 10405) SK 07/05/25

Are they compatible with Shimano XT 10 speed rear derailleur

By Enrique vallano

I would like if the dia compe lever shifters would be compatible and work with rear and front derailleurs Shimano XT?

SJS Customer Service:

These shifters have no indexing, just micro clicks, they will work with almost all derailleurs and pull enough cable for up to 10 speed cassettes. SK 23/01/24

Moulton compatibility

By Dave Walker

Would these be compatible with the down tube lever attachment found on older AM Moulton's i.e AM18. Regards

SJS Customer Service:

Provided the frame has frame mounted stops for cable guides / shifters on the down tube then these will work. SK 25/05/23

Can I use this with a recent Shimano derailleur ?

By Anonymous

26 Jul 2021

Hello,
Am I right to assume that these shifter would work on a recent Shimano 10 speed derailleur ?

SJS Customer Service:

Thank you for your enquiry, as they are friction they will be fine.

Will These Shift 10 Speed Campagnolo?

By Daniel

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

As these are frictions shifters they have no indexed gear points so will be fine for use with Campagnolo derailleurs.

Thanks.
