These shifters are useful for kids to get use to multi speed bikes. I installed it on a kids bike with 24" wheels and a 1x7 drive line. Easy to install. Goes good with the Altus big pulley rear derailleur.

This products was used to replace the 15 yr. old crumbling SL-RS41 Shimano Tourney shifter on my Electra Cruiser. I was a little concerned about the quality as the older shifter had more metal in it, a more robust clamp inside of it and the ability to adjust the cable stop on the shifter. After installing and adjusting the cable and derailleur the gears shift more quickly and precisely than before. Very happy with this purchase.

These came pre installed in my Retrospec Barron comfort hybrid. I use it as my main mode of transportation around my small city and ride paved trails on the weekends. They do work as advertised but frankly they are a hassle. They are bulky and make it hard to use a bell/alarm or an electric turn signal (drivers in my area are practically blind to hand signals). They are also kind of easy to rotate on accident, changing gears to quickly causing the chain to jump (this happens to me multiple times a week) I have even had my chain slip at speed in the middle of the road because of it. Less important but worth noticing is that it can be vary difficult to get a proper grip on it and turn when wearing gloves, even gripped tactile ones that fit well, this has also been the cause of some of the overturning. but the click isn’t loud or tactile enough alone to tell so you have to have the dial every time you shift. Which brings me too the dial: it is almost impossible to read at a glance, you have to physically look down at it otherwise there is a horrible glare off the plastic cover and the placement of the actual numbers is horrible for legibility, it’s really low even for me and I ride upright! Because I end up having to take my eyes off the road every time I want to shift to make sure I end up in the gear I think I’m shifting too (commuting in shared lanes in a pretty hilly area) its just more of a risk than I’m comfortable with so I’m replacing it with a thumb paddle shift designed for mountain bikes, hopefully it will be better and I will feel safer.
