{"product_id":"kljs-gl46sgg","title":"Shifters - Rapid Fire, rear - Shimano index","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe swallerd a monstrous-for-us bitter pill when we crossed over to the dark side and started offering these. It went down easier because, in the big pitcher, does  it really matter what kind of mechanism you use to shift? Barely. These make a simple process even simpler, and they make riding a bike less stressful for some, so we are all, officially, for 'em.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrigger shifters are ugly and take up a lot of room on handlebars, but they're good for people with small hands or if you're building a bike for someone who can't stand to mess a shift up now and then, which, with friction shifting is bound to happen on bumpy trails occasionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWe're selling them for rear derailleurs, because front indexing is the worst. Use a Silver or SunRace lefty for the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSet-up tips, if you're doing it yourself:\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInitially\u003c\/strong\u003e, click the shifter so that your chain is on the smallest cog in the back. Then spin the pedals and click the shifter once. If chain doesn't jump up to the next cog, your tension is too loose. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondarily,\u003c\/strong\u003e if it jumps \u003cem\u003epast\u003c\/em\u003e the next cog, your tension is too tight. Work your way up the cassette using this method until it works for every shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTertiarically\u003c\/strong\u003e, make sure your derailleur hanger is straight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuadrophonically,\u003c\/strong\u003e if you're putting these on upright bars, look at the Billie, Tosco, Bosco, Losco, and Choco BEFORE considering the Albatross. The Albatross is groovy but has a shorter grip area, and these take up more space. You'll still have 100 percent grip space for one hand on the Albatross, but on the others, with longer straight sections, you can probably find a second, forward-of-the-brake lever grip, too. Small point. Ignore this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDerailleur cable included and installed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSora R3000 (9s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcera M3000 (9s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltus M2010 (9s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaris R2000 (8s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssa M315 (8s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ediscontinued by Shimano, sorry - Deore M590 ISLM590RA, Alivio M4000 ESLM4000RA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHIMANO AMERICA CORPORATION (23)","offers":[{"title":"Sora R3000 (9 speed)","offer_id":31189171830895,"sku":"shRF9-sora","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alivio M4000 (9 speed) discontinued by Shimano, sorry, get it while you can","offer_id":20014490189935,"sku":"shRF9-alivioM4000","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Acera M3000 (9 speed) discontinued","offer_id":31049463693423,"sku":"shRF9-aceraM3000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Altus M2010 (9 speed)","offer_id":31049462448239,"sku":"shRF9-altusM2010","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Alivio M3100 (9 speed)","offer_id":31804025274479,"sku":"shRF9-alivioM3100","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Claris R2000 (8 speed)","offer_id":32173283770479,"sku":"shRF8-claris","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Essa M315 (8 speed)","offer_id":41675752472687,"sku":"shRF8-essa","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7343\/products\/shRF9-sora.jpg?v=1603834374","url":"https:\/\/www.rivbike.mom\/products\/kljs-gl46sgg","provider":"Rivendell Bicycle Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
