from Canada Date Reviewed: April 12, 2008 Strengths: The Acera rear shifter on my Norco Bushpilot finally snapped in half, after 8 years of trail/ street/abusive riding. I plan on getting another one and repair the bike. I found it easy to adjust,with seamless shifting if properly done. As I've read, it's not the best for the exreme riders, but for what I do- streets, some trails and occasionally cross country- it worked out pretty well. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $23.00 Purchased At: Georges Cycle Bike Setup: 2000 Norco Bushpilot
