Can I still use these shifters on a 2x7 speed bike?

Yes. As long as the front derailleur limit screw is set correctly you should be good.

The EF51 is designed for a triple crank in the front, but it may be possible to adjust the low limit screw on the front deraillier to effectively make it shift only two chainrings in the front. Good luck.

Yes, you just have to adjust the screws on the front derailleur so the left shifter do not go pass two.

No I believe you can't. You need to use shifters with the same gear ratio that your bike is configured with in order for them to work properly

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens

Yes, I put a pair of Shimano Ultegra bar end shifters in like a charm. Just take the plastic caps off.

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

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.

These will work on any bike with straight bars and a Shimano freehub with the corresponding number of sprockets (this appears to be a 7-speed shifter). Left shifter (for front derailleur) is a non-indexed friction type that can be used with most any derailleur and triple chainwheel.

No. These are brake cables and will not work witj shifters; shifter cables have a smaller diameter and different style end fittings.

Hi, You will need to purchase a 5 speed shifter. Because these are specified as seven speed (rear). A 5 speed shifter will only work with a 5 speed cassette. Thank you.

As long as they are both 8 speed. So if you have a 8 speed cassette and and 8 speed derailuer than a sram 8 speed shifter will work.

This works fine with a wide range of 7 speed gear sets if you had an indexed shifter like gripshift it will probably work I've used it on Shimano and many cheap brand Chinese ones and always worked flawlessly

Yes, left 3 and right 7, In my case I disassembled the right one and assembled in a way that it's not longer 7 speeds but "free travel" since my vintage bike used to have those "down tube" friction shifters and the rear wheel is 5 speeds, so basically it works like the old shifter but now I have the control on the handle bar.

No, they will not. Stick with Shimano Ultegra. FYI the picture that is shown as I write this is a Sram X.0.

I used these for a flat bar conversion on my Trek 1000 road bike and it works great. I have 3x8 with my setup but if you adjust the front shifter you shouldn't have a problem.

I found that they didn't fit when I wanted to put on some Shimano 7 speed shifters. It does say that the diameter is 25.4mm.

I personely would just move the shifter and brake lever, thats what i did on my wifes bike. She really likes them.

Yes, as long as the inner diameter of the handlebar ends are large enough to handle the outer diameter of the bar end shifters. Check the specifications on the shifters and ask the seller about the inner diameter of the handlebar ends. I figure you would need about 0.010" clearance between the two.

Shifters not brake Levers. You are correct. They do work along with their brake levers.
