I have these shifters, front der. and rear der. on a bike. The group is marketed by Sunrace but is the Arsis Microshift. The thing works very well and I do have tiny hands. The downshift button from the drops is not an issue for me. However the upshift lever throw was making my hands ache. At 61 you have these issues. I found a solution to this problem. I taped pads about a quarter inch thick to the outside of the levers. It does not look very elegant but does work. It takes up the initial throw of the shift. I am going to try to get an exploded view of the shifters to see if the thing can be modified to have a shorter throw. The front der. took some work to get dialed in but works without issue. Have about 600 miles on the bike right now.

The cranks and cassette for this group were overpriced in my opinion. I like this group enough to put it on another build in the future. I bought the stuff on ebay without issues.
