Frequently Asked Questions
No — compatibility depends on the brand and gear count. Shimano, SRAM, and MicroSHIFT shifters use different cable pull ratios and are not interchangeable.
Replace cables every 6–12 months based on riding conditions. Dirt, rust, or fraying cables cause poor shifting response.
Very little — keep firmware updated and batteries charged. Electronic bike shifters self-calibrate and stay accurate with minimal upkeep.
Gravel bike shifters combine road-style ergonomics with MTB durability, optimized for mixed terrain and 1x/2x drivetrains.
