## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi.. does it come with the flat back mounting washer?**
A: No, only the curved washers.  You should be able to get the flat washers on ebay or have your LBS order them.

**Q: Are these stem shifters or downtube shifters**
A: Hi...these are downtube shifters.

**Q: What clamp can these be used with?**
A: These are intended to be used on a frame with brazed-on down-tube fittings. I'm not aware of any adapter clamps for them.

**Q: can these be used for a six speed cassette (80's 12 speed bike) and are they index or friction?**
A: I upgraded from 6 speed to 8 speed when I bought this so I don’t know. Rear shifter is definitely indexed so that may be an issue. Front shifter is friction. Works well though.

    a bike builder's two cents
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on 2 August 2011*

I used these as part of a flat bar conversion project on my wife's old Trek road bike.  She has the Shimano RS deraileurs circa 1993.  Three gears in the front and 7 in the back.  Standard SIS spacing on the rear gearset.The shifters are nice quality, well machined, and have a nice feel.The front shifter has plenty of travel to handle the triple gearset.  Getting in and out of granny gear and high gear is easy.  There's a little clicky feel like a ratchet in the front shifter but it's not indexed, it's just for friction.  Overall it's a nice feel for shifting.The rear shifter is indexed for Shimano 8-speed SIS.  I was a little worried about this as my wife's bike has the old 7-speed rear gearset.  No worries though.  I set little gear as one, and set my deraileur limiter setscrew for the top gear and it shifts just fine.  Gears 1-7 click in with precision.  Unlike the Dura-Ace shifters, the R400 rear shifter does not have a friction setting.  It's set for index shifting and that's all there is.  But it does work for either 7 or 8 speed so it's all good.  If you really want friction setting, spend the extra $20 and get the Dura-Ace shifters.  Re-machining these to get friction is possible, I looked at it, but it might ruin them and I chickened out.  As it turns out, my wife loved the index shifting anyway.So they're nice shifters.  They're really well made and have a nice feel.

    Simple is the best.
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on 19 August 2014*

I bought these down-tube shifters because I like the classic feel of using ;them.  I had ergo-shifters on the bike when I purchased it but when one of them malfunctioned I went to bar-end shifters.  They worked fine but I changed handlebars and decided to go with these down-tube shifters.  Haven't used them yet but I will add to my review when I start using them.  They were very easy to install though.

    If you want 'em and can find 'em, get 'em
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on 15 April 2011*

I put these on my commuter bike for the old-school downtube shifter vibe. Also I'm running a disc brake up front and v-brake on the back, and I didn't want to deal with finding shifters with linear pull brakes for road bike handlebars.I've used these for 6 months and they're built solid. For anyone new to downtube shifters, just be wary: they require a bit more work than shifters on handlebars but there is a certain simplicity about them that can't be beat. After a few rides, shifting with these feels very natural.The indexing works well. I have no complaints about their function and workmanship. Quite the contrary.At the time that I got them, Shimano was no longer making them, so if you want them and can find them, snap them up. You won't be disappointed.
