    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Strengths:Light weight.
    Can shift multiple gears at once.
    Can shift and brake at the same time.
    Front derailer trim.
    The company - SRAM!
    Weaknesses:Errr.....ahhh.....ummmm....:o\
    I'm still working on that one. Maybe in the next four years something will show up.
    Similar Products Used:XT. XTR.
    Bike Setup:Seven Sola Ti. Rond-Magura fork. Magura or Formula disc brakes - whatever I'm testing at the time.
    Bottom Line:What can ya say? These shifters just flat-out work. I'll give it a try -

    Fast accurate shifts with no misses - ever.
    No adjustment needed after initial setup - ever.
    Shift the whole cassette with one twist of the wrist.
    Shift while braking (try it!).
    Zero maintenance.
    The best part is the front shifter which is dead easy to trim for no-rub front derailer performance. Its fine clicks allow for precise trimming.

    Great stuff.

    Date Reviewed: January 1, 2002
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $99.00
    Purchased At:Newbury Park Cycles
    Strengths:Quick shifts, smooth action, grips have soft comfortable feel and don't slip
    Weaknesses:price - but I'm cheap and unemployed
    Similar Products Used:SRAM Half Pipes
    Bike Setup:'01 iDrive 1.0
    Bottom Line:These shifters kick a$$. The problem I had with the half pipes was that I would accidently shift gears while jumping... the shorties completely solve this problem by allowing more had placement on the grip and just the inside of your thumb and forefinger on the actual shifter. This also allows for much better control of the bike....
