Shimano web site shows these as double front shifting. Is the 3x9 listing a mistake?

They are available in both double and triple front chain sprockets.3x9 is correct

Nope, I purchased these brifters for converting my 2009 Trek FX 7.5 into a road bike and they work great. There is some compatibility with the Deore front derailer line, but a quick front triple replacement worked out just well.

Shimano offers both a 2x9 shifter (if you have two front chain rings) and a 3x9 (if you have three front chain rings). If you are not sure, go to your bike and count the chain rings on your crank. This is not a mistake. It reads as though you are looking for the 2x9 front shifter and not the 3x9.

As noted in other answers, they are indeed 3x9 ST-3500/3503 however by restricting the front limit screw you can easily set them up to work on a 2x9 drivetrain, so they'll work either way.

Sora has 2 version of shifters, compact and triple. I buy those for my tricoss 3x9 and i love them

I did not see the whole question earlier. The Sram 4 and Sram 5 may have a different shifting ratio. The Sram 4 has a different ratio than Shimano. I think the Sram 5 is the same as Shimano, so it may not work without other changes. I am sorry I didn't see the whole question (Amazon's fault) initially. Good luck.

On my FLHX they are for the dual front disks, but the rear disk uses the same pad, didnt need the rear yet, but my fronts were worn. Check with Harley as many bikes share front and rear brake parts

I am unsure of the different`s but you should be able to switch them out with out any problem. I switch out the stock shifters on my MTB cause the stock ones broke. I have to say these feel great in your hands plus they come with grips witch also feel great.

Hello, No, they are the incorrect bolt pattern. You would want 5x4.75. Thanks, -Jon

I thought it was a weird question until I looked up "Bb68 73" and found this...Shimano XT SM-BB70 Hollowtech II Bottom BracketLooking at the pictures on the left...Now that's weird.

Sorry, mine was bent so I sent it back, it looked like it would fit any modern 5-7 speed freewheel(like a shimano) though, just threads on.

You need to buy a longer BB to account for it. I'm going through the same issue. What I haven't seen a comment on is how this affects the non-drive side. Would you notice it when pedaling, especally if you "clip-in". This chart gives you the symetrical equivalent - http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html . My 3T spindle would need a 130 symetrical BB.

Yes they are. When I had these pedals I used the SH56's and my mrs still uses both. If you want better pedals try the Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedals. I have had two pairs of the XLC Alloy MTB/Trekking Pedals and one broke within two weeks. See the mixed reviews Before you buy.

This is designed for a 9 spd mtn triple chainwheel. It will handle a 9 spd double (road or mtn) if you are using a mtn shifter (different cable pull on a Shimano road shifter) by setting the high and low stops but it is may not have the optimum shape for the large 50 tooth chainwheel.

I put them on a standard ten speed without modifying. You may need to spread the forks or trailing arms slightly but it is a fairly easy modification. Make sure the wheels will accept the disk

the specs on that area a 44 to 48 tooth outer ring, the main thing is also its a 9 speed, I had a seven speed rear sprocket, didn't work for me, so be sure and check your rear sprocket. Then look for a 3 x ?, whatever you have, then you should be ok.

I paid the lower price (~$8) and got 4 cables, two brake and two shifter. All were plenty long for my bike. From the number of times the "size" question has been asked and the number of non-helpful answers received, I'm guessing we're never going to find out what "size" means until someone blindly buys the "size 4" for $22, without knowing what they're getting, and clues us all in. Do you want to volunteer :-)

These are disk break system(work for MTB), so it is independent of drivetrain if you meant that. One thing to know is that the levers are swapped. It means right lever controls front, and left lever controls the back wheel, which is reversal of 99% of Shimano break system I know. The dealer in China responded to my posting and said can swap the levers if I send it back, but shipping to China would cost at least $30 which is meaningless, where I paid around $75~$79 for the set. I'm not even sure if this swapping is by design or defects from manufacturing.

I looked it up on Google & here's what I found: http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support%5CProForm%5CPFEL038120%20-%20PROFORM%20HYBRID%20TRAINER%20BIKE%5CPFEL03812.0-333188.pdf

No. I believe you need to buy Shimano. Or ones compatible with shimano. These are only SRAM
