I want to upgrade from my sora 8 speed shifters - got a mech so would need a new cassette and chain also.

Are these any good/better than the soras they will replace??

Don't know but that headlight won't aid your shifting much :O)

Upgrade import them into the country. Give them a buzz in the morning and have a chat.

They're not really very good- the down shift tab is difficult to find and they aren't really an upgrade over your Sora set up. Just not very nice to use. I'd look for some 2nd hand 105s.

There's a lad in our club who rides with Microshift and I like them. They are loud but the change is crisp and the Arsis carbon ones look great for the money. Good look at them [url= http://road.cc/content/review/14420-microshift-arsis-carbon-10spd-groupset ]here.[/url]

Plus they've got Arsis written on them. WIN, right there.

We build loads of bikes with them. They're solid, noisy, and really reliable.
