Anyone have an opinion on these shifters?

Will they work with a Shimano derailleur?

Huh? Why not? Can you use a GM clutch in a Ford? Nope.

Actually if you look up jteck or shiftmate you will find a part that should allow the shifter to work. The fronts not a problem at all, but the rear needs the part.

So you have used them? Wonder if its worth it… they do look cool… they definitely get cool points for the look.

They look cool and are cool. Feel and shifting is great. I love mine.

sram:

Exact Actuation delivers precise, identical 3mm adjustment for smooth shifting, without variation in effort, through every gear in the 10-speed shifting range.

X: Cable pull is equal

ABC: Derailleur movement is equal

shimano:

I am not sure

Here’s an idea.

Buy them and a SRAM RD.

Shimano is a 1 to 2 ratio, so twice the movement at the derailleur for distance of travel of the shifter. The derailleurs stay in aligned better with SRAM in my opinion.

You’ll really appreciate the stiffness.
