Bar End Shifters

Shimano Ultegra 8 Speed Bar-end Shifters LD801 $84.95

These permit switching between indexed and friction shifting.

Complete with cables, housing and down-tube cable stops for attachment to down-tube braze-ons. If your bike doesn't have the braze-ons, you also need to buy a pair of clamp-on cable stops.

The 7-speed units are no longer available, but the 8-speed shifters actually work quite well with 7-speed cassettes, especially with modern rear derailers.

Shimano Dura-Ace 9 Speed Bar-end Shifters $95.95

9-speed for the not-so rich! These work with Ultegra, 105, RSX and all other recent Shimano derailers except pre-1997 Dura-Ace. Convert an 8-speed bike to 9-speed with these shifters, new 9-speed cassette, and chain.

These are compatible with all Shimano 9-speed equipment.

We also have Dura-Ace 9-speed down-tube shifters in stock for $65.95.

Shimano Dura-Ace 10 Speed Bar-end Shifters  Click here for price

10-speed for the not-so rich! These work with Ultegra, 105, RSX and all other recent Shimano derailers except pre-1997 Dura-Ace. Convert an 8- or 9-speed bike to 10-speed with these shifters, new 10-speed cassette, chain and inner chainring.

These are compatible with all Shimano 9-speed equipment.

Brake/shifter Units - Brifters

Shimano SORA 7-speed STI brake/shifter kits

These are on long term backorder. We have placed a large order with Shimano Japan (through a distributor), but we are not sure if Shimano will make them because they are phasing them out.

Shimano ST-2200 8-speed (Triple Front) STI brake/shifter kits $149.95/pr. LD808  

An excellent upgrade for older bikes. They are compatible with all recent Shimano rear derailers, all 8-speed freewheels/freehubs.

The 2200 series is Shimano's entry level road group. These brifters use the main lever to shift to larger sprockets, but have a small thumb button to shift to smaller sprockets, similar to Campagnolo ERGO.

ST-2200 and R600 brifters are the ONLY drop bar brake levers available that feature a reach adjustment. This makes them a particularly excellent choice for cyclists with short fingers. All black.

These sets include all 4 cables, and cable stop adaptors that fit standard down-tube shifter mounts.

Shimano ST-R600 9-speed STI brake/shifter units LD907 $399.95

At last, an Ultegra-level STI brake/shifter ("brifter") for riders with small hands.

These are a new variant of Ultegra with provision for interchangeable wedges that provide a rest position closer to the handlebar than the standard Ultegra brifters.

These sets include all 4 cables, and cable stop adaptors that fit standard down-tube shifter mounts.

Other models available.
