Overall Product Rating 4.5 / 5
Well engineered and good looking

I recommend this product
Look good and work well. I was unsure at first about the mounting plates, which didn't seem as though they would cover the bosses, but in fact they look great.
Very Smooth Action.

ProsSmooth
These allow for very good control and don't come unstuck (they don't suddenly lose the friction part of friction shifting). Very pleasant to use with an old school setup.

Can i use this with shimano deore m4100?
By
17 Oct 2023
Is this compatible with my build? Using surly long haul trucker (frame) and will be using 10 speed 11-46t and crank of 36-26t ? Thanks
Hi
Thank you for your enquiry. These shifters should work fine with this set up as they are Friction & not indexed & they will pull enough cable.
Kind Regards. JP 18/10/23
difference with the ENE version
By
18 Apr 2023
Hi, what is the difference with this product (Dia-Compe) and the Dia-Compe ENE Down Tube Shifters? Would one be better with a 10-11 speed then then other? Thanks
The ENE models feature a more retro feel and finish than the standard versions, depending on how many speeds you are running the friction shifters might not work as there is not enough cable pull to work with some gear systems notably 11/12 speed. SK 20/04/23
Can the right lever pull enough cable for a Shimano Ten Speed System

Will these fit on a 1961 Hetchins.

It has fairly standard looking bosses but in addition (on each side) has extra thin and short rods that seem to interfere with a standard lever attachment. They are like strong wire that look like they should be used to hold a housing in place. Does this lever attach to a standard Campag boss.
We cannot confirm this for certain I'm afraid. They fit standard down tube bosses- im unaware that Camganolo has a specific design only for their shifters.

Thanks! 13.01.21

Can these be used with Jteks thumb shifter holders?

Hi there,

They should be suitable, we have not directly tested those so there may be some slight compatibility issues.

Thanks.
How Much Cable Pull?
By
27 Jun 2017
How much cable will this shifter pull. I need 38mm for a Shimano Deore XT long cage, I'm not bothered about whether the indexing matches (although it would be interesting to know) so long as there is enough cable pull in friction mode.
Hi,

These shifters are friction only so they don't have an indexed setting anyway but they will pull sufficient cable for use with a Deore XT rear derailleur.

Thanks.
Can I Use With Origin8 Down Tube Shift Adapter - 28.6-31.8Mm
By
09 Jun 2017
I have a 28.6mm steel frame without braze-on fittings. Will the Origin 8 fitting work with the Dia-Compe friction shifters ?
Hello,

We believe they will work.

Thanks.
Dia Compe Downtube Shifters

Are these shifters the ones that come with the bigger right side barrel to accomodate 50mm cable pull?
Hi,

This is just the standard version with equal sized barrels.

Thanks.

Thanks.
Will These Work With An Campag Athena 11 Speed Set?
By
29 Apr 2016
Would like to mate these with a silver Athena 11 speed drive train on a Retro I am building.
Hi,

As these shifters are friction they should be absolutely fine for use with your Campagnolo 11spd group set.

Thanks.
