from Newark Date Reviewed: December 17, 2001 Strengths: ummm? hmmmmm? well? uggghhh? (scratching head)It aaaa? It.... It is made by Sram... I think? Weaknesses: This whole thing is a weakness! First off it fell apart before I even atatched it to the bicycle and after I put it back together and installed it on the bike I had the Pro's at RIP YOU OFF BIKES adjust them. These things were hard to shift and inacuracte. I always had to look down and see what the hell this crap was doing. It clicked more times than a Timex. uugghh? why? why did you make this crap sram! you know this is junk!!! was this thing a joke? It is never acurate! the gears are always off. I was in 7th gear and the shifter said 6th! anyway Istripped my 7speed junk off my bike im going to full 8speed race style ill be using the full 9.0 Sram setup!! hopefully I wont be disapointed Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: rockyhills Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: local rip you off shoppe Similar Products Used: other Sram crap that cracked in the middle of a Jump!!
