from Darwin, Australia Date Reviewed: May 19, 2006 Strengths: Reliability. They have not broken in over 12 years of operations. I have a stash of grips to keep them useble. I have replaced chains, chain rings and cassettes twice over the 12 years, and sometimes wish these damn things would die so I can replace them too. Will replace them when my supply of grips runs out. Weaknesses: Maintenance. Found it a real task to thread the cable. Probably is my inexperience tho. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: mountains on mildura road near Canberra airport (forget name of mountain) Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Came with bike Similar Products Used: Deore rapid fire, SRAM X5 Bike Setup: Giant ATX 860. Replaced brakes with deore linear pulls, and replaced shocks with RST 381 (given to me from friend).

from Jersey City, NJ Date Reviewed: June 7, 2004 Strengths: I love the grip type shift so much more then index thumb shifting. When you are about to hit a big hill it really helps to be able to shift quickly and reliably. Weaknesses: None, for the price I've never had a better shifter, it even works with cheap Shimano shifters. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Many Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Metro bicycles NYC Similar Products Used: None, because these refuse to break. I use a different shifting system on my Canandale R600 roadbike. Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Tassahara. I bought this bike for $375 years ago, I've replaced parts as they break. Yes, it was the last alloy mountain bike frame without a suspension fork they made in this model. I'm finally going to get a full suspention K2 Attack 2.0, but I'm already looking at upgrading the shifters to a compatible SRAM type grip shift.
