from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Date Reviewed: May 2, 2011 Strengths: Doesn't shake around a lot like the the Shimano Deore. On smooth terrain and light-rough terrain it shifts smoothly. Weaknesses: -Any time you're on a hill, it starts to act as if it isn't adjusted properly. -Whenever it's in gear 2-3, or 8 of 9 it acts as if it needs adjusting. -Heavy-ish -FYI, mine has been adjusted, so this is not an error on my part.
