SHIMANO Altus Right Shift Lever 7-Speed SL-M315-7R

Excelente calidad se lo puse a la riprock 20 de mi hijo ya que el shift de circular está más incómodo para un niño! Y a funcionado súper bien original y excelente compra! Además que se ve mejor apariencia ahora que antes! Compra no te vaz arrepentir !

I bought to replace the very common and cheap gripshift, which promotes very awkward hand motion and stress on kids wrist. The new gear shifter is amazing, easy work but make sure the number of gears you have matches the number of gear shift on the shifter. My kid loves mountain biking as it makes gear shifting faster and safer.

Out of the box this shifter works fantastic. Installation was a breeze. It comes with the shift wire already attached. The right grip, brake lever and old shifter have to be removed, usually with Allen wrenches 3, 4 or 5 mm. You might get lucky and the old housing can be used but be aware that old housing can be compromised with kinks or corrosion. So, as earlier stated the shifter operates nicely shifting through 7 gears smoothly. My only reservation is that my experience with this type of push pull shifter as compared to twist grip is that over a period of years the lubricant inside dries and causes failure or at the very least balky shifting. So in the short term this shifter works but with limitations.

Love this shifter. Feels good. Such an upgrade from that horrible twist shifter that was on my bike. This puts the brake lever where it’s supposed to be and shifts smoothly. Love the view to see what gear too.

The grip shifter on our 2023 Sunseeker Tad SX was accurate, but proved to be very hard to twist once you headed towards the lower gears...not helpful! Even though it seems a grip shift might be more 'intuitive', the degree of difficulty encountered during the 'Pulling phase" of the derailleur was too difficult to be a long-lasting solution. Enter this very inexpensive and easy to use Shimano Altus trigger shifter! I've been using Shimano products for many years, and I knew there would be a considerable difference in feel, leverage, and ease of use, but it wasn't until I was done with the installation that I saw how remarkably different and vastly improved this new shifter was. Removal of the grip shifter was essentially 1) Shift all the way to the smallest sprocket (#7 for this shifter), then remove the lower grip shifter tube, 2) loosen the derailleur connection for the shifter cable and remove the cable end cap, 3) take the grip shifter off (one single allen wrench screw) while pulling the cable out of the cable housing. Installation of the Altus shifter: 1) Loosen and remove the brake lever (it will go on the opposite side of the Altus vs the grip shifter), 2) Install the Altus, lubricate the cable housing with silicone spray, and carefully push the new shifting cable through the housing, then 3) Attach the new cable at the derailleur and tighten bolt, and finally 4) Install your brake lever on the inside of the Altus...done! Check your shifting, some fine adjustment may be needed. Also, you'll need new hand grips, as the old grip shifter won't be long enough anymore. Highly recommended!
