Road Bike Shifters

Road Shifters With the invention of STI Levers (see buyers guide) the need for standard down tube levers, found on all road bikes 15 years ago, has almost disappeared. However, many riders with older bikes still run gears that require these levers, so the manufacturers still produce compatible shifters and we try and keep them in stock to meet the demand. Riding Aerodynamics Most of the shifters in this section are ’bar end’ levers for use with time trial aero handle bars, enabling the rider to maintain an aerodynamic position and move the hand to change gear. The lever is right at his finger tips at the end of the extension, which can be vital to save a few seconds against the clock. We stock compatible bar end shifters for both Campag and Shimano gears.
