More product description: The 7-speed units are no longer available, but the 8-speed shifters actually work quite well with 7-speed cassettes, especially with modern rear derailers. This made changing gears difficult while turning, going up hill, maneuvering in traffic, or during a race, as the rider would lose some stability from having only one hand on the handle bar, while adjusting the lever. Shifters allow for rapid and precise shifting, without removing the hands from the handlebars. Prior to this Shimano had sold a system called. The cyclist would need to adjust the lever to center the chain on the sprocket. These sets include all 4 cables, and cable stop adaptors that fit standard down-tube shifter mounts. Because of the increased desire of the time trialist for an aerodynamic position on the bicycle, a time trial bike uses. The first successful indexed shifting system was the Shimano Index Shifting or SIS, introduced in 1984 on the 6-speed Dura-Ace racing groupset.
