Purchased At:
LBS, Calabazas Bike
Strengths:
Inboard of brake lever mounting, short throw, cool gold bits.
Weaknesses:
None so far
Similar Products Used:
Deore Stock shifters
Bike Setup:
2007 Heckler, Fox Talas RLC, Saint Brakes, Saint Shifters, XT Drivetrain, Azonic Wheels
Bottom Line:
These shifters rock the cock! You can rip through 7-8 gears in throw of the thumb, and the shifting is really tight and positive. Paired with the XT drive train and derailuers, the shifting is amazing.
My old bike set-up was all XT, but with the Deore shifters, and the shifting was crap! These are amazing and weigh less than the XT shifters (advertised weight)

Duration Product Used:
3 months
Strengths:
Typical Shimano shifting (which I like)
Weaknesses:
None so far
Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Heckler
Bottom Line:
Can't believe I'm the first person reviewing this however...shifts like a typical XT shifter but is designed to be used before the right brake lever. In other words closest to the grip. Anyway bottom line, I like it!
