Does anyone know the gear ratio for these shifters, Im changing from the twist type srams with a 2:1 action.

These shifters are soooo inexpensive. If your looking for the least expensive shifters. These will do in a pinch, however, I do recommend you spend a little more money.

Stay with what you have, it is mediocre. Not much of an improvement. Pay a little more for trigger shifts.

Go to Hurst website. They have a upgrade for the bushings. Makes for a tighter longer lasting shifter .They do not say on website that the shifter will not fit.if in doubt call the Hurst service number.

Well, what can I say to help, make a few phone calls to bicycle shops in your area. But as long as it relates to a seven shifting options for you, I can't see any problems. My old 1994 ROSS Mt. Olympus 21 speed mountain bike, it work for me. I replaced both shifters, the original ones just tired out, yet my derailleurs are still going strong today. My opinion, they work better how the shifter buttons relate on the handle bars. Once I got them lined up & running they work great. How was that?

Please call Denso after market at 888 963 3676 or 310 834 6352 and ask them the same question. I personally think it is the same,but also think they might change between automatic and standard gearbox,also between 4x4 and 2x4 also between V6 and 4 cylinders.DENSO will be the perfect source to answer your technical question.regardskarl lawar

Yeah, i got both. I bought shimano shifter 2 times and i suspect you always get both. Don't know if they make singles.

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.

there is one shifter for all the gears: rear/neutral/forward/forward (rear rotating tines)/forward (front rotating tines). there is also a throttle on the hand grip.

Gear shift systems are either Shimano-compatible or Sram compatible. "Shimano" doesn't mean it's necessarily built by Shimano, just that it's Shimano compatible rather than Sram compatible.

The right shifter shifts the rear wheel sprocket. In my case that is 7 gears. The left shifts the crank sprocket. in my case that is 2 gears. My rear brake is connected to the right brake lever and the front brake is connected to the left break lever. The small levers shifts up and flipping the brake lever in towards the center shifts down. I put these on my 14 speed Schwinn and they work very well. I also changed my rear sprocket and change and in it amazing how much better the bike is. I love mine and hope this helps. Happy Riding.

yeah, good for torque 34mm better for all round power. May have to rejet it as well.

well seeing as nobody else has answered your question properly...no. You have a 3x6 speed, so you'll need 3x6 shifters, unless you want an extra click in your shifters...you could also go and get a 7 speed rear cassette (which would also need a new rear wheel) and then, hey presto! more gears to play with! So, in short, this will not work properly.

Yes. The only difference will be is that the left shifter will have 3 settings instead of 2. Just line it up so that when you shift gears that it goes between 1 & 2.

I didn't drive another brand long enough to know about how the two compared. The shifter I had engaged/disengaged the two front wheels from swiveling independently in place (what you need to turn around in a tight spot) and then engaged them to steer with the handlebars.

I had the A050 thumb shifters from a vilano bike and switched them with the A070 shifters and they worked. I eventually switched the rear derailleurs & front derailleurs to the A070 (only because they were too beat up). Niagara cycle works had free shipping for above fifty dollar purchase.

I recomend to buy Shimano derailleur pulley. Sram is similar and may be they work but is not for sure.

I actually just did a 1x10 conversion with 32 tooth up front and a 42 tooth in back. Still works flawlessly. Definitely start with a new chain though,narrow wide chain ring up front and One Up extended cog in back with the special mad 16 tooth cog that replaces your 15 and 17 tooth cog.

It is a mistake in advertising but it is 8 speed right side trigger shifter. i was a bit concern myself when a was buying it. but it came in what was advertised and not what is on the picture. hope i answered your question.
