To control gear shifting, they use switches on the steering wheel - shifters, they are also shifters. Shifting occurs by pulling the cable and changing the position of the transfer through pressure on the levers in the shifter. The right shifter belongs to the rear crossover and the left lever to the front. The left shifter is most often at three speeds (equal to the number of stars in the system), and the right shifter corresponds to the number of cassette or ratchet stars. Often the shifters are connected to the brake lever, then this structure is called a monoblock. Nowadays, for bicycles with mechanical brakes, the most common handlebar switches are monoblocs. A more outdated type of switches are revolves, they do not give a clear switch and have a shorter resource than shifters and monoblocks. In our store you can buy Shimano, Sram, Sunrace shifters
