For Sale (BIKE) 2019 Shimano Steps E7000 SLX power mode shifter: For swap

Bike Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Shimano Steps
Model: E7000 SLX power mode shifter
Asking Price: For swap

Description: Bit of a long shot but I have a brand new left hand unit with 400mm cable that I just got from Bike24 in Germany. Now that I have mounted it I realised I didn't think it through sufficiently as a right hand unit would suit me better due to a knackered left wrist. I'm waiting to hear back from them on exchanging it but thought I'd ask if anyone has a right hand unit with 300 or 400mm cable that they want to swap?

Cant you just mount it on the right? actually I guess the angle of the buttons would be a PIA. The RHS one is meant to be a shifter, so I would check with Maidson/Shimano that as long as you plug it into the right port on the head unit that it will work fine.

I used to be really careful to make sure I plugged the shifters back into the exact same port I unplugged them from - but now I don't think it actually matters which port you plug anything into.

But I think @R120 is correct about checking if the right shifter can be used for switching assist mode - I have a feeling it automatically assumes it is for gears.

If you move the left hand shifter to the right side of the bars, you could also turn it upside down which would fix the button angles. But up & down modes would be the wrong way around by default - I'm pretty sure this can be swapped using the PC E-Tube Project (not sure about the mobile app version though …)

 

[R120]

I don't think the button angle would be an issue if you run the controller next to the grips on the rhs, so you can get your thumb over it. Worth a try.

how much are these shifters?

 

[R120]

about £60 depending on where you get it

Shimano STePS SW-E7000-R Switch - right

I need to check that it won't clash with the trigger on the RHS before I decide what to do. Bike24 have sent me a returns label so I would only have to pay for postage again for a new unit, not the end of the world

If it's any help I also ordered a lhs version of this shifter only to realize a rhs would of suited my setup better. Tried it anyway on the rhs and it's been totally fine, the ergonomics are not so pronounced that it's a huge problem imo.

 

[davosaurusrex]

Thanks. Mounted mine on the RHS last night, ergonomics not a problem like you say. To avoid a clash with the finger shift trigger I have to run it tight against the grip where ideally it would would be a couple of cm away to match where my thumb naturally reaches. Also tend to brush against it when using the thumb shift trigger so not sure what to do yet. Decisions, decisions. I do love geeking out on trivia!

Might be a silly question but does this replace the shifter type changer on the 8000? Easy swap?

Yes, and yes, very. Unplug the old and plug new in.

still available ?

 

[davosaurusrex]

Afraid not, I flipped it and run it on the right, works perfectly for me
