SRAM X4 8-Speed Trigger Shifter Rear Only

Today I received the SRAM X4 8-Speed Trigger Shifter Rear Only and it installed a bit difficult, but that was just orienting the first cable HOUSING position. - I had it going the wrong way, and figured it out after 2-3 times. I tried oiling the new cable, even though I'm sure it was already oiled from the box. I'm very thankful that it was identical to the broken shifter on a bike that has lots of riding left in it. Quality components can make the difference in a ride, performance, and longevity! It came w/ a personal note from a representative w/ their info, if a customer has a question or problem, something I appreciate! My only wish was that they designed the shifter so just a damaged/short/rusted cable could be replaced, without also replacing the shifter. < that is an impossible feat, due to the tiny parts in a shifter. It would've also been nice to have new cable housing - but mine was in good enough shape to use.

Product is as described. Works perfectly, just what I needed.

Perfect replacement for my broken shifter from my 15 year old Specialized. Unfortunately the first one I ordered was defective, but the second one worked perfectly.

I was extremely happy with this product. Was surprised at how easy it was to put on and that it even cam with the tools to do it with. Highly recommended

I crashed my mountain bike and broke my X4 shifter... Rats! Well, I purchased this replacement, and soon I was bombing around the foothills of Boise again! The shifter comes with the cable already attached. How to change your shifter: 1) Take pictures of your current shift cable so you know how to re-string. 2) Disconnect the cable at the rear derailleur and pull the cable out of the cable housing. 3) Remove your right handle-bar grip and remove the broken X4 shifter (with entire cable). 4) Consider cleaning out the various cable housings (plastic tubes that guide the shift cable). 5) Push the new shift cable backward through the cable housings and re-string the shift cable all the way to the rear derailleur. 6) Replace the shifter mechanism onto the right bike handle and replace the grip. 7) Adjust the shifter to your smallest rear gear and gently pull the slack out of the shift cable at the rear derailleur. 8) Tighten the cable to the rear derailleur. 9) Ride your bike, some minor tension adjustment may be necessary to perfect your shifting.

It works. Glad SRAM still serves the 3 x 8 MTB market. Would be nice if it was easy to just replace the cable, but that's not easy. For $15, might as well replace the whole shifter, I guess. Comes with a cable.

Bike had a identical one on it which i unfortunately broke ordered this as a replacement once installed was stuck in high gear range levers where extremely stiff once they broke free got stuck in low gear range and the perch snapped immediately when it got onto my bars didn’t even get to ride with it

added an 8 speed cassette and replaced my x3 trigger with this. pretty much the same thing but with one extra speed available. works great! just make sure you have a sram rear derailleur if you want to go this route.

Its gud
