I have a question---

I got a 3x7-speed Microshift kit for an old Cannondale which can't use modern gearing (126-mm dropout spacing.) I installed the right (rear shifter) and while it takes some adapting every time I ride (all the rest of my road bikes are Shimano) I find the shape comfortable and the performance acceptable.

I did not install the left (front) shifter because as far as I could tell, it didn't have trim detentes. I find with such a wide (7-speed triple) front chain set, trimming is essential---either the top or bottom half of the cassette will cause interference without using the trim settings---and the existing Shimano Claris FD and shifter handles it excellently.

Does anyone know if the low-budget Microshift front shifter has those distinct trim detentes? I couldn't feel them, and when I pulled the cable ( to simulate being attached to the FD) and worked the shifter I couldn't get adjustments .... which is why the shifter is sitting in a box on my shelf.

Anyone use the budget 3x7 who could help out?
