Thoughts on Microshift?

[Mark B]

I was parts shopping and came across some ads for Microshift products. I looked into them a little bit and was shocked by what I was reading. I seriously expected folks to say it was junk, but not even an inkling of that.

The road groups look like they would work pretty good on a Cruzbike, but I was curious if anybody had given them a shot. They seem pretty inexpensive, how bad could they be?

My Sofrider v2 came with microshift 3x8 twist shifters.
I used micoshift 3x10 trigger shifters , and FD with an ultegra RD.
those seemed smooth , but were at war with my brake levers.
I never installed a triple.
Only reason I currently have sram is I wanted to try the Yaw FDers.

Trident Trikes uses Microshift on their trikes.
I have not read any bad reports about Microshift.

My Quest V1.0 came with Microshift shifters, and derailleurs, and they work very well, and the derailleurs are still on the Quest, and the twist shifters replaced with trigger shifters purely because that is what i am used to!

(cone of silence on) Microshift makes components for other big name brands (cone of silence off)

For our younger members, who may not remember Get Smart:

that was before my time, but i watched it often as a re-run

I barely remember watching it--or more accurately, watching the title sequence with all the doors--in its original run, when I was about 5 years old. Much better in reruns, when I was old enough to get the satire.

Time for a pop culture intervention.




Alan Tracy: So, do you still think that science can explain everything?

Fermat: Not girls.
