MicronewTrip SB-R483 (3X8) Speed Shifters Road Bicycle 8 Speed Brake Dual Control Levers

First time fitting one of these and did as others mentioned re fitting cable barrel adjusters on the gear cables by the levers and then at the brake ends as no room at lever end for the brake cables. But after all that works really well and will be buying another for another project 👍

Good for the price both work well, only slight disappointment was the gear cable is not hidden.

Really easy to fit, worked first time, I was a bit dubious at first but, everything seems fine. Would recommend buying barrel adjusters first as they don't have any adjustment. 👍

Not the best, but I guess you get what you pay for!! No adjustable to screw on the part the gear cable fits through, so a lot of fiddling trying to mesh the gears up, but hay hoo, defo would not recommend ,but as I said I should have guessed that with the price!!

I bought these levers to replace like for like on a decathlon road bike. Installation was fine and they function well. The levers don't come with barrel adjusters (when the old ones on the decathlon bike did) so I had to swap the faceplates over. If you buy these you may want to use an inline cable adjuster or hopefully your frame has a barrel adjuster on the cable guides. Otherwise you might want to think twice about buying these (and spending your pennies on a less obscure brand!).Other things to note the price dropped by £18 about a week after buying my pair and the shipping took around 3 weeks, they came wrapped in a tiny amount of bubble wrap.

Great replacement levers. Took a while to arrive.

I needed an exact replacement for my 3x8 shifters for my 2015 Cross-Rip. After 22k miles the right hand shifter could no longer hold the derailleur steady. I didn't want to pay for Shimano, nor do I like how the new Claris rout the shifter cables under the handlebar tape. These are not exact replacements. You are going to have to re-learn how to shift and brake all over again, but it won't take long. These are easiest to operate from the hoods. Index finger shifts to a smaller cog or chain ring, and the middle finger shifts to a larger one.There are 3 separate levers instead of 2. But they work great. The shifts are precise, the left hand has the middle 1/2 shift that you sometimes need to stop the derailleur from rubbing the chain, and they require less effort to brake. I didn't realize how irritating worn out shifters can make riding with the chain jumping from cog to cog all by itself. I don't know how long they will last, but for now I think they are worth the price.Updating this since I am getting asked a lot of questions lately. Two years and about 10,000 miles later, these shifters are still working. Not perfect, but for the price, they are still 5 stars. I commute, I crash, I ride in the rain, I drop my bike while fixing flats. These are not eye candy, but they do the job.

A bit cumbersome to install, but the average bike jock should be able to get it done. The shifting and braking is not as precise as I hoped. But it is a low cost alternative.

I actually somewhat like these more than my 105 hydraulics. The shifts are crisp, the ratchet mechanism is actually metal and NOT plastic as the other reviewer said, and the braking feels good. Very easy to install. The hoods are nicely shaped and would fit smaller hands very well.

If you need a 3x8 system on the cheap, these will work. They feel nice and shift well-ish.The right shifter is perfect and shifts totally fine but I had to crank it down HARD because it kept sliding down the bars. Thought I was going to break it.The left shifter is ok. clamped to the bars just fine. no sliding. There seems to be a "trim" position so it feels like a 4 speed moving up then a 3 speed coming down. I don't know if my set is broken or if that's how they all are. Its slow to shift from 2 down to 1. I have tried adjusting it every-which-way and eventually got it "good enough". It's still slow and the chain rubs in certain positions. It just feels like the indexing is off.Both shifters have a short throw for the brakes. I am running mini v-brakes and they "work" but honestly you need road brakes with a short throw for these to work well. I can slow down slowly fine, but the levers touch the handlebars in an emergency stop.Overall, they are fine. Probably going to switch back to something more reliable. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

These were perfect for my 26" old mountain bike conversion to gravel bike. The shifters feel sturdy and are vary comfortable to rest my weight on the hoods. Don't get me wrong, these are not Ultegra level quality but they are perfect if your looking for cheap as possible like I was. My only complaint so far is I wish the shifter cables were routed along the bar instead of out front (But I knew that would be the case going into it)
