Can I use this shifters with any Shimano 7-speed group? like the old A050? I have A050 thumbshifters

Yes . Thats what the "2x7" means.....2 chain rings in front and 7 cogs on the rear cassette. If you are up grading a 2 x 7 , this will work.

I upgraded my Shimano 105 gruppo with these. My bike is from 1991 and is a 7 speed with downtube shifters (levers). I see no reason why these wouldn't work with your A050.

I had the A050 thumb shifters from a vilano bike and switched them with the A070 shifters and they worked. I eventually switched the rear derailleurs & front derailleurs to the A070 (only because they were too beat up). Niagara cycle works had free shipping for above fifty dollar purchase.

I originally had the thumb shifters and converted to the Shimano St-A070 Road Shifters. So, I would guess it will work for you also. YouTube has some good videos to make adjustments once you have the new shifters installed.

Probably not. I have mid to late 1980s dura ace 7 speed, and the indexing did not match up.

I am unsure of the different`s but you should be able to switch them out with out any problem. I switch out the stock shifters on my MTB cause the stock ones broke. I have to say these feel great in your hands plus they come with grips witch also feel great.

sure, the shifter will work the same with any size chainring, it is the derailleur that is specific to chainring size

You can use the newer version provided the gearing is the same. I used this Sora to replace a Shimano shifter from the 90s so I am sure it would be fine to upgrade an older version of Sora (again, provided you are using the same number of cogs on you front crank and rear cassette).

Shimano 105 or Ultegra derailleurs also seem to be of good quality and should work fine with those shifters.

Shimano Altus offers several variations. Which one are you compairing to? I have ordered and used six (6) of the Acera SL shifters and they are strong and perform well so I'd suggest making your selection based on your budget.

No, they will not. Stick with Shimano Ultegra. FYI the picture that is shown as I write this is a Sram X.0.

yes .you can even use index shifting if you like ----shimano spacing is the same for 6/7/8gears drives cassette or frewheel....... happy rides.

The shifter and brake lever are one, integrated piece. If you were to upgrade your 7 speed grip shift to the Shimano EF-51, you would need to remove your existing brake lever as well.

Yes, I put a pair of Shimano Ultegra bar end shifters in like a charm. Just take the plastic caps off.

If your documentation says to use Shimano tool TL-LR15, this should work fine. Note that there's some indication on the forums of quality issues some time ago (3 years I think) where the tolerances weren't very good. No guarantee that there isn't bad stock floating out there -- don't be shy about returning it if you get a bad one.

The bike I used them on was a 21-speed(3x7) Schwinn(from WalMart) and they worked great. Unless there is something unusual about the Mt. Fury frame geometry, these shifters should work. Hope that helps.

Yes. As the product description says " Compatible with all Shimano and Sram hubs ".......slides on a freehub NOT for a threaded freewheel

The SL-A050 shifter I just received has a front and rear shifter. The front (left) shifter is not indexed, similar to old shifters. The are adjusted by feel. The rear (right) are indexed, so there is a notch at every shift location. If calibrated correctly, shifting is easy and accurate. I would suggest that not all rear derailures and freewheels/cassettes align exactly the same, may need to check compatibility with the equipment you will use them with. But they make a nice and inexpensive upgrade for downtube shifters. Hope that helps, and good luck.

well seeing as nobody else has answered your question properly...no. You have a 3x6 speed, so you'll need 3x6 shifters, unless you want an extra click in your shifters...you could also go and get a 7 speed rear cassette (which would also need a new rear wheel) and then, hey presto! more gears to play with! So, in short, this will not work properly.

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.
