What's This All About

[Chislenko]

"With mile-munching abilities including a 9-speed OR microSHIFT R9 Dual Control, this bike has a gradient whereby the rider needs to twist the shifter several times before a chain is moved onto a higher or a lower chainring"

This is taken from the "Product Information" section for this bike.

Agreed. If it is Sora, it’s a cracking deal at £809!

It also "reduces arm fatigue and back strength". I liked the idea of reducing arm fatigue but at the expense of weakening the strength in my back I'm not so sure 😂

The Wiggle spec for same bike specifies Sora

I’d double check, Sora is pretty good, but it may come with Microshift, I’d specifically demand one with Sora fitted

I'm wondering how you twist lever shifters.
