That's really sad. So people who probably has the least ability to keep a bike shifting properly get the crappiest shifters that are constantly going out. I haven't ridden anything with less than Alivio since i was a kid. Big fan of 105; that's what I have on my bike. Bit heavier than the super high end stuff but just as accurate.
