    Favoriate Trail:El Prieto
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $20.00
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:Better shifting than Shimano thumbies, light weight, easy adjust.
    Weaknesses:Plastic casing, but it hasn't broken yet on me, despite my numerous crashes.
    Similar Products Used:Shimano Acera thumb shifters
    Bike Setup:GT I-drive, Iron Horse hardtail
    Bottom Line:I got these shifters when I replaced my drive train from Shimano Alivio/Acera to XT. Shifting is better and holds adjustment longer. I like the fact that I can still brake while shifting to set up the next turn/hill and have most of my fingers gripping the bar (a safety plus). The best thing is I'm able to trim the front derailer to avoid chain rub. Don't get me wrong, shifting will skip every now and then, but that could just be from the 1:2 Shimano cable shifting pull.

    Strengths:LITE...CLEAN, CRISP, FLAWLESS SHIFTING when used with AVID
    ROLLAMAJIG! This will fix up any Shlmano drive-train....
    Saves your 8 speed set up! Use a SRAM PC-59 9 speed chain
    and a PG-850 cassette and it will solve most of the famous
    Shimano NOISE!!!!
    Weaknesses:NONE! Shimano tech mechanics wont tell you ABOUT THIS!

    05"LEADER Frame,SRAM X-7..RACE FACE PRODIGY..24 SPEED!
    BOTH BIKES ARE LOADED!....AND FLY!....NO shimano ANYWHERE!
    Bottom Line:IF YOU CANT AFFORD X-7, DO YOURSELF A FAVER AND GET THE
    SRAM ATTACK,and AVID ROLLAMAJIG!!! YOU WONT BE SORRY!!!
    GET THE PC-59,and PG-850, after that and you'll be stroken!

    7yrs shimano..2yrs SRAMano...8 months SRAM X-series, and
    now my tools and repair stand are getting LONELY!!!

    Shimano FREE! AND LOVE-N-IT!!!!!

    Favoriate Trail:Stick In The Eye
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $40.00
    Purchased At:Bicycle Buttler
    Strengths:Light weigh, shifts great, easy to adjust.
    Weaknesses:They look kinda cheap.
    Bike Setup:01 Kona King Kikapu with XT derailleurs, XT cassete, and SRAM 69 chain w/Power Link.
    Bottom Line:I wanted to try Grip Shifters for some time. When I purchased the Attacks I was actually shopping for Rockets. My favorite shop didn’t have any in stock at the time so they offered a set of Attacks and said I could return them if I didn’t like them. They turned out to be a great bang for the buck. They shift great. They have a good year of use and have been very reliable. Good quality and value.

    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $35.00
    Purchased At:Performance
    Strengths:Quick, positive shifts
    Weaknesses:Plastic casing
    Similar Products Used:shimano xt shifters
    Bike Setup:shimano xt derailleurs, brakes, and levers.
    Bottom Line:I had a hard time finding 8-speed shimano shifters to replace the one that broke, so I decided to give these a try since they are shimano compatible. Installation was fairly easy and integrated well with my existed shimano xt shifter/brake lever. It took a couple rides and adjustments to "break-in" the shifter and cables to where all eight gears would lock correctly. Now it works great and I am very happy with it. It took a while to get used to the grip-shift vs. rapid-fire, but the mechanism is simpler so less likely to break. The only drawback is that when the shifter gets covered in mud, it gets too slippery to shift, esp. into lower gear (rear).
    But at $35, it was a lot less than the shimano. I give it 4 chilis due to the cheap looking construction.
