Like Bill, I'll certainly buy a couple pairs if folks aren't digging them. I have one on my Clem that is shifting an Ultegra long-cage rear derailleur and an 8-speed custom cassette (which probably should have more problems shifting than a standard cassette). I've not experienced any issues at all and am pleased as punch with it. I'll go out on a very long limb and suggest that maybe the stock rear derailleur might be part of the issue, but I've no experience with the Altus that comes on it. The clicks are really only in one direction - you certainly can overshift a click, then trim back. Or just replace it with an Sunrace indexed shifter - they're sold individually and are fairly inexpensive. David Chicago
