@rekmeyata You can see the cable release thumb buttons hanging down like beagle ears in this photo of the 3400 shifters, below and behind the cable output. (photo from Chain Reaction). These don't have the release lever behind the brake lever like the 3500. What you see as a button on the 3500 shifter, is actually the output for the shifter cable, which on the 3500 also has a barrel adjuster, making it look big. The new Sora R3000 has aero shifter cables and nothing hanging off.

Claris was 2x8, not sure of the model number. 105 shifting was quicker, but 2x8 was more precise, especially when cables/housing gets a bit older. My conclusion was it was down to cable pull and cog spacing. Since the 105 RD was top class. |
I had bikes set up:
SP41 housing and cables (Shimano) One had 105 RD, the other had Sora RD. |
Strava says I'm just shy of 6200 miles on my 3x8 commuter, the Claris has been nothing but solid and dependable the whole time.

@Axiom if you do change out, I'd be happy to take those 600 shifters off your hands if you don't want them.

I have Claris 2400 on my gravel bike. Its 2016 Specialized Diverge. The only thing I'm not a fan of are the cables sticking out of it. I have over 1000 miles on this groupset and never had any problems with it so far. It shifts pretty smooth. It is 2x8, so gear jumps are larger, but you get used to it once you build up your legs. I am planning on possibly upgrading, but I'm not in a hurry yet. I don't compete or race, so there is no need.
