Picked this up for my commuter bike to replace a shimano Alvio that kept dropping the chain when downshifting. It’s paired with a shimano cassette. The clutch has solved my rogue chain issues on rough ground, shifting is slick and dependable, plus it was super easy to setup. I went for the short-throw “kids” shifter pod - and I have to say it’s pleasing snappy action compares to much more expensive options I have on other bikes. Good job Microshift!
