Very smooth levers

5 / 5

I recommend this product

ConsOnly available as braze-on

ProsGood quality, works well

Excellent Shimano quality, very smooth operation and accurate indexing on the right hand lever. The left hand lever is friction only, and has a very light action when pulling the lever back (changing up) without the ratchet clicking of some other levers (eg the Sunrace R80).
If you don't have braze-on mountings, buy some cheap levers with a band (eg Sunrace R80), throw away the Sunrace levers and fit the Shimano levers on the Sunrace band. I have done that and it works well.

Regarding Downtube Shifters

By Barry Speed

06 May 2017

Hi SJS,
I have an old and trusty Eddy Merx Bicycle with Shimano friction lever shifters on the downtube. I would like to upgrade to indexed shifters. Should I use the Tiagra R400 or the SL-R400, or is there another I should consider?
Many thanks,
Barry Speed

Hi,

If it is 8spd shifters that you need the the SL-R400 will be a good option for your needs.

Thanks.

What Is The Bolt Size For These Shifters? My Braze On Thread Size Looks Like An M4, Will This Fit?

Hi,

These like most down-tube shifters come with an M5 bolt, I'd recommended double checking what thread your frame is before you purchase a set.

Thanks.
