Friction brifters, compatible with everything. What could be more C&L than that?

Description

The beautiful, excentric geniuses at Growtac have done it again, after perfecting the mechanical disc brake. These "brifter" style levers are the first ever made which function as stepless, non-indexed friction shifters.

The genius part is that they therefore work with any drivetrain, with MTB-pull or road-pull derailers. You can have any setup you want, and as long as it's all-mechanical (which you know C&L Cycles loves) it'll shift it.

The brakes are, like all brifters, road-pull levers, which work with many mechanical brakes and, naturally, the Growtac Equal brakes.

We'll stock these in four models: left shifter, right shifter, left brake-only, right brake-only (five models now! the dropper lever too). Sold per-lever.

We'll also have optional clicky plates for (to start with) Shimano Road 11-speed systems, so that you have an indexed-like experience if you prefer that.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

Installation of not as straightforward as Shimano or simple friction shifters. You need a high level of technical expertise to install these shifters. It is better to remove the thumb shifter with a 2.5mm hex key to remove the whole rubber hood to facilitate the changing of the cable pulley and installation of the cable. There is no video available to see how this is done. You need to plan well to install this. Your bike shop will charge you labour time. And the time to install this is long. So you need to do it yourself. At the end the accomplishment is the personal satisfaction.
