Shifting Performance
Customers have a generally positive opinion about the shifting performance of the Shimano Claris ST-R2000 Double Left STI Lever, with some mentioning excellent and smooth shifting gears. However, a few customers noted that the product may not be ideal for high-performance use due to limited gears and potential cross chain issues.
Highlights
Quality
They are of the usual shimano quality.
This is my training bike and it is a better bike due to these great components.
It’s not great for the chain, your sprocket, your crankset, or your derailleurs if you’re riding in these gears.
If you’re having trouble shifting after installing this brifter, just google “index front derailleur claris” or something like that.
Price
A full ultegra group set would cost $1,500.
A full claris group set would cost $200 (or less).
It’s often mocked because it’s shimanos bottom end, but it’s such a great value.
Shipping
The shimano shifter/brake works great and sun cycle warehouse delivered promptly with informative notes included.
Competitiveness
I have ultegra on my main road bike and i’ll tell you that the claris offers about 95% of the performance of the ultegra.
Since claris is only an 8 speed group set, you end up doing quite a bit of light cross chaining.
I chose these brifters for the newer design and better cable management over microshift r8s.

Ultegra is obviously way lighter which is far less important for beginners and it’s faster at shifting but only by a quarter of a second or so
