Non-bank-breaking drop bar shifters/levers...

Post by gairym »

Howdy,

I'm looking to replace some road/gravel/drop bar levers/shifters and hoping someone can suggest options that aren't crazy expensive!

Needs to work with cable discs (TRP 'Spyre') and Shimano 2x11 drivetrain.

Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks in advance.....

ow many speeds?

I use some 105 in the hydo version which work well (rattle a bit without the left one connected to a front mech)

I hear good things about microshift but they done look loads cheaper than 105

All 11 speed

they are considerably dearer than MTB stuff arent they - thats a no from me
Bar end shfiters or a MTB shifter* to change gear - if you can stomach the aestehetics /make it work [ probably need a shift mate ]

* what i did as i had hydro discs and no way i could pay the price[£150 ish] required to just chage gear on a front mech

I've already got an XT mtb shifter (sawn-off) which is mounted to the bars via a Sram mount for the rear mech and it's great but I thought I might switch to something more 'traditional' now that I want to go 2x (currently ghetto 2x with me needing to adjust the limiters on the front mech that's being used as a chain device).
