[Closed] 8 speed shifters

Not quite XT quality, but they should work.

Thanks Geoff, looks like a good fall back option. I have seen some Alivo shifters too, are these supposedly better than the R440 you suggest?

R440 is better the alivo

Those won't work with a mtb front mech tho Shirley?

I have a set of XT 8 speed shifters. In very good condition, they were only used for about 12 months and no really rough off roading. If you're interested, let me know; bikeandy61@gmail.com

They do on my *coughs* hybrid

Erm...does your hybrid have a mtb front mech?

Yup

I use Alivio 8 speed on mine, never had any probs with them, and they're big muckle amounts better than the Sram X5 they replaced!

He'll only need one shifter for 8 speed 🙄

ps. Sram Attack/Rocket (cannae rem which of the 2 was discontinued) are decent 8spd shimano compatable shifters too.

But he said

8 speed Shimano shifter[b][i][u]s[/b][/i][/u]

actually Al, he said..

"Hi,"

"Does anyone know where you can buy [u]8 speed[/u] Shimano shifter[u]s[/u]"[b]

So with as good a grasp of English grammar as was once required on here he'd actually have been asking whether anyone knows of a shop with 8 speed shimano shifters (plural) in stock. With his casual disregard for the use of a question mark, WTF knows, eh? 😕

ha ha ha you bit 😎

Oh.. You'd know when I bit! 😈

😆

😮

I have an unused 8 speed XT rapidfire if that's what you're looking for email me

Old Skool SunTour thumbshifters aren't hard to find on eBay, will work with 7- or 8-speed Shimano cassettes and can even be hacked to work with 9-speed if you know what you're doing.

Hi,

Apologies for missing out the quesiton mark, and thanks to those offering spares, that's [that is] why I like this forum. I've [I have] mailed you.

Thanks again.

Jim
