from somerville, ma Date Reviewed: December 29, 2001 Strengths: It's all been said before... But, they ARE indestructible, super light, and more durable than any other shifter ever made. XT top mounts don't even compare! Weaknesses: That would be that they're not made anymore. (can also be a strength if you're lucky enough to have them; they're rare and half the new riders have never seen 'em before) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: A shop that's been closed for 4 years! Similar Products Used: gripshift, rapidfire, rapidfire plus, shimano top mounts Bike Setup: S-Works har tail, many random parts, but the shifters are certainly the most precious.
