"Just got my 7 speed Shifter all I can say is wow and amazing it's exactly as described As advertisement just like in the picture. my original one broke. got this new one and I like the way it looks. not only that my gear is actually responding the way it should be 100% perfect and smooth. I did read other bad reviews about the cable was a little short but not exactly sure what was that about. maybe their bike is too long too big I don't know but on my 26 inch Magna fit perfectly. Schwinn, Magna,and Mongoose will fit perfectly. as long as you bring your cutter cable. you will be just fine."

"on a whim I bought a second bike, a specialized comfort bike with 7 speeds...no front derailleur with a trigger shift and with the flaired hand grips. you can't modify the trek grips due to the twist shifters, therefore this shimano product."

"If your old shifter, like mine, is integrated in with the brake, and a flange of metal from that old system may block placement of the new shifter. A hack saw will make quick work of that aluminum flange so the shifter can be positioned properly, and the brake and shift levers are now separate component."
"My child has fine motor and hand strength deficiencies, so there was no hope of him being able to use his gears with that shifter on."
"The grip shifter was so stiff he couldn't shift it on his own so we would have to stop on the trail and shift it for him."
"These are great, she was able to shift gears without any issues and they are perfect for her little hands."
"I needed to convert my combo shifter / brake assembly to separate brake levers and a shifter."
"Throw that hard to shift twist shifter in the trash!"
"My son did not really care for the grip shifters, so we upgraded to these Acera SL-M310 shifters and a Tourney TX-75 rear derailleur."

"Giving this derailleur 5 stars for value."
"If you want a poorly-shifting but period-correct derailer, then go get a deer head derailer from ebay."
"I put this on my 1998 Giant bike 21 speed that I had rode until I wore it out and put it away for 10 years."
"Very crisp and positive shifting and no adjustments were made after installing it on my Schwinn tourist, just popped it on there and tightened down the cable nut and shifted great I did however had to set the limit screws as usual but no biggie!"
"This is probably the best derailleur your going to get under $20."
"Good replacement for my original Altus part on my older 21 speed even though the idler pulleys on this one. are a bit bigger it shifts very smooth and accurately, after proper setup of course."
"5 stars based on the performance you get from a derailleur that is less than $20."
