How can I fit these shifters?
Hi, I bought some shifters and I was just curious whether it was within my grasp to fit them, whether it's too difficult or not. Anyway, here are the shifters:

Can some one either explain step by step how to install them or link me to a video explaining how to.
Thanks

The levers themselves are simple enough to install on the handlebars (remove grips and brake levers first)
Then search for tutorials on installing and adjusting derailleurs. Scan some until you have your questions answered. The basics are all the same, so it's simply a matter of applying them to your set up.

I agree (as usual) with FBinNY.
The first thing to do is to count the number of rear cogs on your bike and make sure that the shifters that you have match. You need to have a Shimano derailleur too. Assuming that they do match, just bolt them up and run the cables. If you have problems then, post back and ask a more specific question.
