Submitted by Jason Fearing a Road Racer from Caldwell, NJ, USA

Date Reviewed: March 6, 2001

Strengths:    Clean, smooth, shifting action.

Weaknesses:    Took me a while to tweak the high/low tension

Bottom Line:

It came with the group and works just nicely. I tweaked around with it and the bike shifts accurately and the chain is ready to go the instance I shift.

Awesome product, and an ease to install and 'tune.'

Strengths:    Shifts the chain from one ring to another. Good integration with the overall Ultegra 9sp system.

Weaknesses:    Not a nice looking as DuraAce or Campy Record, but a whole lot cheeper.

Bottom Line:

Good value for flawless front shifting. On a side note, my front shifter has worked fine, but the rear Ultegra shifter has crapped out after 6k miles.
