Anyone know if these are out yet? I need (want) a new 10spd drive train and want to build it around these for tasty binglyness.

QBP had these in stock as of this past Monday.

I'm interested in hearing feedback from people who have used them.
  • How far apart are the shift detents, relative to normal barend shifters?
  • Can you slam the entire rear cassette, or are you limited to a specific # of clicks in each direction?
  • Does the front shifter have the R2C feature? IMO it would be nice to at least retain a front friction option.
  • Any issues with the smaller shift lever?

I just had them installed on my bike last week. At first I thought the shifters were very stiff, but on my first ride, they were actually quite easy.

I believe you can slam the rear cassette. I did it by accident.

Both front and rear shifters have index marks on them so you can see where you are on the cassette.



Plus you can adjust the front derailleur as well. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the groupset.
