Does this item include a PAIR of shifters (3 speeds for the front, plus 8 speeds for rear), or is it just one shifter for the rear derailleur only?

best of my memory they put both front and back in the same box as a set. they actually included a set of cables too which i wasn't expecting

It's an eight speed index shifter (no numbers visible) and yes the front shifter is included in the set. Very high quality. I was happy with product.

The only Adjustment on the derailleur is from the shifter side, the barrel adjustment... if there is one there either..then its a manual adjustment at the derailleur side!

The one I have only has two positions for front derailleur, there is no shift position for a third.

No. But you don't need to do 8 as it comes with 2 small pieces of cork to apply on shifters. Works out perfectly.

I had the same set of shifters on two bikes. 1 with v-brakes, 1 with cantilever brakes. No problems with either.

No, it comes with the derailleur only. YouTube video with show you haw to install and adjust. Its very simple.

This front derailleur is a triple, for mountain or hybrid bikes. It might "work" on your road double, but it is not a good choice.

I ordered the front/rear set, and the cables were included, and attached.This is a very good grip shifter, and though it is a nine speed shifteris works well on my eight speed Shimano system.

My order included 2 seperate pieces of tape. One for each side, along with two short pieces to put on the shifters.

The left shifter is two speed friction, I haven't run a triple with it but you may be able to rig it; the right shifter is 7 speed indexed.

It is for 8 or 9 speeds-with the long cage you dont have to take off too many chain links-works perfectly on my 8 speed drivetrain

Yes, this is the rear 9-speed and front 3-speed shifters with cable.These also have the removable gear indicators with the covers attached to the shifter, under the indicators. The block-out plates come on the shifters from the factory, previous answer is incorrect. The seller told me they didn't home with the shifters but when they arrived, covers were there, right where Shimano put them.

The SL-A050 shifter I just received has a front and rear shifter. The front (left) shifter is not indexed, similar to old shifters. The are adjusted by feel. The rear (right) are indexed, so there is a notch at every shift location. If calibrated correctly, shifting is easy and accurate. I would suggest that not all rear derailures and freewheels/cassettes align exactly the same, may need to check compatibility with the equipment you will use them with. But they make a nice and inexpensive upgrade for downtube shifters. Hope that helps, and good luck.

These shifters will only work with the corresponding SRAM Rear Derailleur. This is because the shifters are "Indexed" which basically means the shift ratios or the distance the shifters move the rear derailleur are fixed to match the ratio that matches the specific SRAM rear derailleur.

Just the Rear/Right Side. The left hand one you might need would be SRAM X.4 Left Index Trigger. It is for a 3 speed derailer.

As a direct replacement its unlikely you could get it to shift properly the 10 speed dyna sys derailleurs are only designed for use with 10 speed shifters. In my case (9speed) this required a new 10 speed cassette,chain and shifter. 8 speed should be the same unless you have an older thread on style rear hub. To me the clutch on the derailleur makes it worth it and you could lower the cost by using slx instead of xt on some/all of the components.
