I have the low end Shimano derailleurs 3 speed ft & 7 speed rear, what would be a good high-end Shimano derailleurs to match these Bar-end shifters?

Since the bar end shifters are intended for 8-speed rear cassette you will need to find a compatable derailleur. I checked online and most everything is 9-10-or11 speed now. In the past I have had both Dura-Ace and Ultegra derailleurs by Shimano that worked great but they were 8-speed systems ant that was about 15 years ago. Not sure if the 10 or 9 speed will work or not. I would check with a good bike mechanic before buying just to be safe. I bought and older Specialized Warrior Sport that happened to have an 8-speed rear cassette (not sure of the brand of the derailleur) and I installed the bar end shifters and they work great and have made riding fun again.

Shimano 105 or Ultegra derailleurs also seem to be of good quality and should work fine with those shifters.

You would need a 10 sped chain (thinner than 9 sped to fit the 10 speed cogs) Also you may need a different front derailleur if going from a double to a triple Shimano has a Web site technical documents specifications or call Shimano technical departmeant

I recommend doing some reading. Short answer is they allow for different big big and small small gear combinations. Look here for a good explanation. http://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks/when-use-long-cage-vs-short-cage-derailleur-205890.html Figure out what gears you plan on running up front and in back and then choose the appropriate cage per manufacture recommendation. I hope this helps

Came with cables installed,seemed to shift the front derailleur Shimano fine while I had these on my mtb., I didn't get much of a chance to try them, the day I installed them the shifter for the rear quit working while I was adjusting the derailleur.

The short answer is, yes. Shimano spacing is different for 6-11 speed cassettes, but cable pull ratio is the same for 6-9 speed. If you want indexing to work, you can only use an 8 speed cassette along with any 6-9 speed derailleur (except 8 speed Dura Ace derailleurs. This is info from my LBS and Sheldon Brown.) That said, in friction mode, you can use ANY brand or model derailleur set, because you stop the shifter when it engages the desired cog, not the other way around. It takes some fishing to get used to it, but after a while you will find each ratio as easily as if they were indexed using your own muscle memory. If you happen to find an old Positron or AX rear derailleur, you could conceivably have 5 speed indexing, because in those models the index feature was in the derailleur rather than in the shifter. Some other models for other people reading this: The model you need for Suntour indexing is the 6 speed Accushift "barcon" For all 7 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS50* For 8 speed Dura Ace, use the SL-BS50-8* or SL-BS77 For all 9 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS77 For all 10 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS79 *These frequently are sold NOS but ship in the wrong packaging so inspect these carefully before mounting to make sure you have the correct ones. The shift lever model is usually embossed on the rubber boot. In fact, the SL-BS64 kit usually ships in an SL-BS50 box, but don't be alarmed.

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.

Did some quick Googling and it looks like the Shimano 10 Speed Dynasys components are not compatible with any other style/brands including Ultegra. They used to be but not any more. Just basing this off of research.

As long as you have a Shimano deraileur it should work. Make sure you get the 7-speed set for a 21-speed (3 front/7 rear)

It's been some time since I replaced the shifters, but I believe you will use the bike's old cable housings and just thread the new cables through them. The cables come installed in the shifter mechanism and are plenty long so you will need to trim them once they are installed and secured in the derailleurs. It's a pretty easy installation unless the cable housing is corroded or damaged. Good luck.

Check this link, which depicts a compatible freewheel: Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheel

I think it depends on your cassette. It's meant for 9-speed cassettes. On Shimano's website, it's listed under the mountain bike parts. The Shimano road bike derailleurs are the Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, Tiagra, Sora, 2300 and 2200 series.

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.

This will work, but you need to check on the shimano web site to see if your rear deraileur will work with the 28 tooth cog. Mine made noise because the idler gears were making contact with the 28t cog. I ended up buying a new mid length cage rear deraileur. They are pretty cheap online.

your current derailer should work, you may have to move it up a bit on the frame, but should be no problems

You ned to install a tension adjuster on the rear shift cable, somewhere between the shifter and derailer. This can be an inline barrel type, or a cable stop type.

The 3-Speed option from the dropdown is for a Left shifter for the front derailleur. The 9-Speed option from the dropdown is for a Right shifter for the rear derailleur. The 3x9 option on the dropdown is for the set of both shifters (Left+Right). If you have any questions regarding what is included or which side you would be receiving, please contact the seller prior to making your purchase.

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?
