Frequently Asked Questions
What fits with Shimano DOWN TUBE SHIFT LEVER 8s?
Shimano DOWN TUBE SHIFT LEVER 8s is compatible with brake calipers, rear derailleurs, cassettes, front derailleurs that match its technical standards. Most importantly, it requires matching 8-speed components.
Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with Shimano DOWN TUBE SHIFT LEVER 8s?
No, Shimano DOWN TUBE SHIFT LEVER 8s requires a 8-speed chain. Chains for different speeds have different external widths and internal profiles, which will cause poor shifting or mechanical interference.
