Worth the price for quality. - I tried some cheap ones for about 1/2 the cost, they were junk and really didn’t work.

Overall, probably about 45 min to install and tune, very happy with them, works great on our 10 year olds bike. Skip the cheap Chinese knockoff.

Review: Great Upgrade for V-Brakes and Shifters – Easy Once You Find the Right Guide - When I upgraded my bike’s brakes to Shimano V-Brakes, I discovered that my old brake levers weren’t compatible. That’s when I found the Shimano ST-EF500 Brake/Shift Lever Set, which integrates brake levers and shifters into one unit. This upgrade not only solved my compatibility issue but also gave me a chance to improve both the braking and shifting on my bike. The levers and shifters look great on the bike, as you can see from the after pictures (sadly, I didn’t take any before pictures). The handles have a sleek design and feel solid, giving my bike a more modern look and functionality. The set came with everything I needed to install both the front and rear. The one downside is the lack of proper instructions. While the package includes a URL to Shimano’s website, their instructions aren’t much better than having none at all. Fortunately, I was able to find detailed YouTube videos that walked me through the installation process step by step. Once I had the right guidance, installation was straightforward, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. If you’re looking to upgrade your bike’s brakes and shifters, this set is a fantastic choice. Just be prepared to look up a video or two to get it installed properly. Highly recommended! Five stars! ## Features - High-performance 3 x 7-speed ST-EF500 brake/shift lever set designed for versatile mountain biking and hybrid bikes. - Constructed with durable, materials to withstand rigorous riding conditions, ensuring long-lasting reliability and smooth gear shifts. - Features 's EZ-Fire Plus engineering for precise, quick, and effortless gear changes, enhancing overall ride control and responsiveness. - Equipped with an adjustable reach and optical gear display for customized fitting and easy visibility, providing optimal comfort and intuitive shifting. - Compatible with linear-pull and mechanical disc brakes, including V-brakes, making this set ideal for diverse riding styles and bike setups. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083F795DG | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #83,326 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #22 in Bike Shift Levers | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (243) | | Exterior Finish | Black | | Finish Types | Unfinished | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Attachment Mechanism | Screw | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Handle Type | Lever | | Included Components | Brake/Shift Lever, Flat Bar Pair | | Item Depth | Less than 1 inch | | Item Dimensions L x W | 9.47"L x 8.63"W | | Item Weight | 1.16 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shimano Cycling | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material Type | Metal | | Metal Type | Metal | | Model Number | ESTEF5002PV7A3 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Shape | L-Shaped | | Specific Uses For Product | Brake/Shift Lever, Flat Bar Pair | | Style Name | Brake/Shift Lever, Flat Bar Pair | | Theme | Bicycling | | UPC | 192790386942 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 9.47"L x 8.63"W - **Style:** Brake/Shift Lever, Flat Bar Pair ## Images ![Shimano ST-EF500 3 x 7-Speed Brake/Shift Lever Set Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+paepni-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this both left and right or just one side** A: Both **Q: Do the brakes work for disc brake systems?** A: Yes **Q: Is this available in 3x8?** A: Yes… EF500-8s **Q: Where can I find an installation and adjustment video or do you even have one available** A: utube ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They work great and were easy to tune.
