Pros
Entry level shifters so price is good.
Cons
Can feel a little wooly
Review
A reasonable entry level shifter. Better off going to LX from Jenson and benefitting from 2-way shift at same price.

Review
These shifters provide great quality shifting, if you like the rapid fire design. Even if you don't like the rapidfire at first, I can almost guarantee you'll be used to it after a couple of rides.
Pros
Easy shifting and great ergonomics gor people with big hands. Real compact to.
Cons
None
Review
These shifters are good all around and are good for just about any type of MTB riding.
