Shimano Sora ST-R3000/R3030 Brake/Shift Levers (Black) (Left) (2x) (Dual Control)
Shimano Sora ST-R3000/R3030 Brake/Shift Lever Description:
The Shimano Sora ST-R3000/R3030 Brake/Shift Levers feature one of the most reliable and common shift lever designs used on the road today. These dual action shifters/brake levers feature an adjustable reach lever mechanism that has a light weight actuation, making these levers very easy to operate even if the hands are getting tired. The brake and shift cables are routed cleanly under the hoods so there are no hotspots created on the hands, and as an added benefit, the cables will have a very low profile appearance as they are routed to the handlebars. Finally, the ergonomic rubber brake lever hoods provide excellent comfort and grip so you can enjoy the ride more.
Note: 2x front shifter is only compatible with Sora R3000 2x front derailleur.

Shimano Sora ST-R3000/R3030 Brake/Shift Levers (Black) (Pair) (2 x 9 Speed)
My husband has a 30 year old bike and these were a good replacement as they work the same as his old shifters, unlike the MicroShift shifters. The cables running under the bar tape is a nice improvement too. I do have to criticize the listing however. Nowhere does it say that these levers come with cables and cable housings. They do. I bought cables and had to send them back. Also it says that these levers only work with Sora front derailleurs. This isn't true. I got them to work just fine with the vintage 105s on the bike, so I had to send the replacement derailleur back too. Hopefully this setup will last another 30 years.

Solid action and great price.
I totally overthought whether I should use these on my budget touring bike build, or go with trekking bars using some combination of bar end shifters and separate brake levers.
I’m a sporty road cyclist, and since I’m used to brake ing and shifting in one lever, I’m totally glad I went with these.
Though they are quite a bit less cash than top of the line stuff, their action is crisp and solid, and they seem built to last.
