Was having trouble finding options for 3 x 7 L/R. This pack was exactly what I needed, and at half the cost of buying them separately. Integrated brake levers. Included multiple sizes of tubing and cabling. After installing (easy) and adjusting (not as easy-lol) they have been working great.

Replaced a set of Pain in the Wrist twist shifters on an older used Schwinn Sidewinder bike I was upgrading for my daughter. They work really well and even came with new cables and housings which I wasn't expecting, those alone are $20 in any bike shop. I am purchasing another set that's already in my cart for another reclaimed bike as soon as I submit this review.

Fairly easy to install; not difficult to adjust at allCheaper, plastic housings than originals, but honestly a decent set to get an older bike back to operational status. Good price for actual Shimano parts, which I hope will last longer than any of the 'knock-offs' I found when searching.Seem to shift/operate as smooth/good as the originals (when the original parts still worked).Fast shipper - parts showed up a day earlier than expected.Very satisfied w/ this purchase - Thanks for helping me get my ~20+ yr old KHS bike back to working, 365 Cycles!!!

Product is an amazing value. I didn't know it would include the cable housings as well. There was actually enough cable housing length to put on my bike with an 8.5 inch riser bar. The shifting is crisp and responsive. Easy install and good performance make this shifter/brake combo a solid buy.

It is amazing these shifters sell for such a low price. The package has every thing you need to make the switch-over. I probably would have had a hard time if I hadn't work on bikes, so if you have not worked on a bike you may want to get help. Getting the handle bar grips off is the hardest thing to do. Spray WD40 under the grip and start twisting.

Bought used mountain bikes for each kiddo. These are an easy and affordable upgrade for light refurbishment. They look great and operate effortlessly. Paired with Jagwire cable housing in the accent color of the bike decals for a custom look. Kids love it. With 5 minutes of Utube they are easy to get the shift adjustment correct.

When I upgraded my bike’s brakes to Shimano V-Brakes, I discovered that my old brake levers weren’t compatible. That’s when I found the Shimano ST-EF500 Brake/Shift Lever Set, which integrates brake levers and shifters into one unit. This upgrade not only solved my compatibility issue but also gave me a chance to improve both the braking and shifting on my bike.The levers and shifters look great on the bike, as you can see from the after pictures (sadly, I didn’t take any before pictures). The handles have a sleek design and feel solid, giving my bike a more modern look and functionality.The set came with everything I needed to install both the front and rear. The one downside is the lack of proper instructions. While the package includes a URL to Shimano’s website, their instructions aren’t much better than having none at all. Fortunately, I was able to find detailed YouTube videos that walked me through the installation process step by step.Once I had the right guidance, installation was straightforward, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. If you’re looking to upgrade your bike’s brakes and shifters, this set is a fantastic choice. Just be prepared to look up a video or two to get it installed properly. Highly recommended! Five stars!

This was for an old old bike that had Shimano EF-51 shifters. Shimano no longer appears to make those, but I found these instead and thought to give them a try. It turned out they were a perfect fit!The box really contained everything I needed: the two shfiters with brake levers, the cables, the cable housings, even brake cables + brake housings! The description did not say anything about cables or housings, though, so I actually had a separate set ordered from elsewhere and ended up with two. The Shimano set, however, showed some remarkable attention to detail: it had the small piece of shifter housing for the rear derailer ready for me! Making it isn't hard with the right tools, and I was surprised to see it.It is not necessary to change any of the cables or housings just to replace the shifters, but it makes no sense not to: those cables touch everything and you have to pull them all the way back to the shifters to change them. Shimano's install instructions were quite lacking, but YouTube helped me out. Everything installed without much trouble. Once I ran all the cables, I adjusted all the tensioners and the trim bolts, and everything worked great! My bike shifts quickly and accurately now, like new.
