Bar end shifters offer the simplest and most reliable shifting solution for drop bar bikes. They feature adjustable shifting tension, minimal moving parts, and the option to switch the rear shifter to friction mode. This ensures outstanding reliability, adjustability, and flexibility during mechanical glitches. Ideal for globetrotting tours or casual rides with friends, or both!

Using these shifters is a breeze. Just reach for the bar end shifters to change gears. The left shifter operates in friction mode, which means you can adjust the gear to your liking precisely. The right shifter can work in either index or friction mode. If you're used to the click - by - click indexing for smooth and quick shifts, use the index mode. For more control, switch to friction mode. When it comes to maintenance, keep the shifters clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt and grime regularly. Also, check the cables periodically for any signs of wear or fraying. If you notice any issues with the shifting tension, you can easily adjust it according to your preference. Make sure the shifters are tightened properly to the handlebars to avoid any loose movement.
