from Idaho Date Reviewed: May 23, 2008 Strengths: Light, gets as many gears as you want at once, never accidental shifts, VERY positive feel to shifts, everything including the gear indicator is out of the way so I can't imagine it getting hit in a crash. Really cheap too. Weaknesses: if they could get rid of the snapping sound while keeping the strong indexing, that would be the only improvement I can think of. But I don't mind, that same hard snap translates to your derailleur. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $50.00 Similar Products Used: triggers, SRAM attack twisters Bike Setup: hartail, SRAM X.9 rear derailleur

from Colorado Springs, CO, USA Date Reviewed: July 30, 2006 Strengths: easy to install reliable, quick shifting Weaknesses: -affects brake lever placement a little -had to shorten grips to get my hands where I wanted them -at first I didn't like that front shifter is not indexed (i.e. single click = shift), but I got used to it and it's nice to be able to adjust to keep front deraileur from rubbing on chain. - not as solid feeling as x.o triggers, seem cheaply constructed (which is probably why they cost < $100) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $89.00 Purchased At: colorado cyclist Similar Products Used: SRAM x.o triggers Bike Setup: blur xc, fox front and back, mavic xmax, juicy carbon
