A practical choice for commuters and casual riders replacing worn controls on a compatible 3x7-speed flat-handlebar bike with V-brakes.
The Shimano ST-EF500-7R2A set combines 3x7-speed shifting and V-brake braking in a single flat-handlebar control assembly. Its separate EZ FIRE PLUS shift levers keep gear changes easy to understand, while the Optical Gear Display lets you check your selected gear at a glance while riding.
With indexed shifting for defined rear gear positions and the ability to make up to three multiple shifts, it suits everyday riding, commuting and casual fitness use. The reach-adjustable 4-finger brake levers allow you to bring the levers closer to the handlebar to suit your hands and preferences, while cable adjustment helps with setup.
Before ordering, check your drivetrain and brakes: this set is intended for a 3x7-speed system with an MTB 7-speed rear derailleur and V-brakes. It uses T-type brake cables and OT-SP41 shift outer casing, with black steel-and-resin lever bodies for a dependable replacement or upgrade on a compatible flat-bar bike.
