Shimano SL-M310 Acera Rapid Fire
$20.99
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Very obvious clicking sounds when changing gears adds assurance of use. Packaged with all necessary cabling, housing, and ends. Very affordable upgrade or "repair" part for mountain bikes.
The Cons:Included directions are not very clear unless the user is experienced with bike maintenance. May require considerable adjustment to align indexing properly.
Shimano's SL-M310 is an entry-level shifter, and comes in both front and rear versions (i.e. left- and right-side of the handlebars, for front and rear derailleurs). The front version shifts between three crankset cogs, and the rear between 7 speeds on the cassette.

The shift levers have an ergonomic design that allows thumb and forefinger shifting, with dedicated levers for up- and down-shifting (hence the "rapid-fire"). The boxed version of this product includes cables and housing. It can be used on a range of bicycles, though is mainly intended for mountain or hybrid models. It has an easily readable speed index with a bright red indicator.
