Good downtube shifters

By Ian

03 Jul 2020

5 / 5

I recommend this product

Used these to replace STIs on a classic trike. More in keeping with the trike's age.
Indexes well with the Shimano 8 speed derailleur. STIs were different to keep in adjustment. Easy to use downtube shifters on a trike without wobbling.

By Tom

I have an 16 speed (8/2) with Shimano claris STI shifters and claris derraileurs. Handlebars stolen so looking for affordable replacement. Thanks!

SJS Customer Service:

Yes, for 8 speed Shimano these will be a suitable replacement.

Can I remove the lever for the front mech and have just the rear shifter?

SJS Customer Service:

Yes, you could, you would left with a stub.

Can I use with a Shimano 7 speed cassette?

By Martin Lloyd

18 Oct 2019

The 7 speed cassette has 5mm between sprockets. Is this the same movement per index?

SJS Customer Service:

Yes, but you will have an extra click!

What rear derailleur?

By Dazza

29 Jul 2018

Hi. What rear derailleur would you recommend to match these with?
If they use a 2:1 actuation ratio, does that cover most brands, or just Shimano?
Cheers

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

We would recommend these are suitable for Shimano 8 speed.

Thanks

Would this work with a Thorn childback tandem frame?

By Dave

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

As long as you select a tube that is 28.6mm you could fit these to a Thorn tandem, or pretty much anything!

Thanks

Can You Switch The 8Spd Lever To Friction? Thanks

Hi,

These are indexed only so cannot be converted to friction unfortunately.

Thanks.

Whould It Be Possible To Remove The Shifters From The Clamp And Mount Them On The

By Anders

27 Oct 2016

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

In theory you should be able to remove these from the clamp and fit them directly to shifter bosses on the down tube if you wanted to.

Thanks.

Would these (or one of these) work with the 8 speed Alfine hub gears?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

I'm afraid not, 8spd derailleur gears use a very different cable pull to 8spd Shimano hub gears. We do not have any down-tube shifters suitable for use with an Alfine hub I'm afraid.

Thanks.
