An excellent upgrade for older bikes. They are compatible with all recent Shimano rear derailers, all 7-speed freewheels/freehubs.Sora brifters use the main lever to shift to larger sprockets, but have a small thumb button to shift to smaller sprockets, similar to Campagnolo ERGO.
Sora and R600 brifters are the ONLY drop bar brake levers available that feature a reach adjustment. This makes them a particularly excellent choice for cyclists with short fingers.
These sets include all 4 cables, and cable stop adaptors that fit standard down-tube shifter mounts.
