is there an xt shifter that will work on a 7 speed

XTR & XT 7 speed generation would be from the early 90's - I highly doubt you will find that unless it comes off an old bike. Shimano does not even do 9 speed XT any more, only 10 speed now.

Shifter has nothing to do with the motor. It has to do with the transmission. Read up on the transmissions that this shifter will work on, it covers a wide range of applications.

Any Shimano / microshift / sunnrace rear derailleur will be controlled by this shifter. If derailleur description says 7/8 or even 9 speed it will work. The "speed of derailleur" is really its range of movement, ie how many cogs wide it can span. 6/7/8 all use the same chain because spacing is the same. When I had mounted these A050 thumb / paddle shifters on my sons 8 spd roadbike, we could only use 7 cogs, so we adjusted High or Low limit screw to exclude top or bottom cog. If u have flatbar these are a great choice. If u have road style drop handlebars, consider the related Shimano A070 Brake Lever Shifters.

why would you want a 7 speed mega range freewheel on a 6 speed bike?the 7th oversized mega cog wont even be accesable with 6 speed shifters and derailleur,why not get a 6 speed mega freewheel(shimano MF-TZ20 tourney 14-34 tooth 6 speed),make sure your shifters and derailleur are mega compatable!!!!!!!

yes, just have the old 7 speed, i got this one for this wheel Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheeland it should work perfectly as it has for me

You`ll probably need a adapter. The size of the knobs screw in is quite large compared to your average gear shifter size. I purchased a adapter kit that came with all sizes to be on the safe side

They do have these for twist shifters also. The shorter version will probably work but check with the seller too.

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

According to the package it will work on 7 and 8 speed derailleur chains. It does not differentiate between companies. I carry it but haven't had to use it yet

Yes. The XT is lighter and it will shift faster/smoother than the Deore. Buy the 11-32 if you want the exact same gears. Buy the 11-34 if you'd like an easier gear for climbing.

I assume you mean your shifters only have 7 positions. With an 8 cog cassette you would set the the limits of the shifters to leave out either the smallest or biggest cog, i.e. you will be able to shift to 7 of the 8 cogs. But, you would be better off just using a 7 speed cassette.

Yes it is, and will not work. You can use a xt 9 speed derailleur for your intended purpose. Hope this helps.

This comes with 2 two sided threaded adapters that allow threading to 4 different sizes that will allow you to attach it to most threaded shifters. If you can take the old knob off your shifter and it has a threaded end it should work. If not you and you have a standard metal post you should be able to thread the end if you want to invest that amount of work

The Shimano A050 only has 7 speeds for the rear sprocket. There is no shifter for the front sprocket. I bought this for my beach cruiser which only has a single blade sprocket on the crank and a 7 speed in the back.

Well, what can I say to help, make a few phone calls to bicycle shops in your area. But as long as it relates to a seven shifting options for you, I can't see any problems. My old 1994 ROSS Mt. Olympus 21 speed mountain bike, it work for me. I replaced both shifters, the original ones just tired out, yet my derailleurs are still going strong today. My opinion, they work better how the shifter buttons relate on the handle bars. Once I got them lined up & running they work great. How was that?

Yes, this worked just fine for me with an 11-36 cassette on a road bike. However, the 592 has the cable entry more from the side (Shadow configuration). You might find the M771 XT more to your liking as it has a conventional rear entry cable. In both cases you will need an in-line cable adjuster because neither has one on the derailleur.

Yes, left 3 and right 7, In my case I disassembled the right one and assembled in a way that it's not longer 7 speeds but "free travel" since my vintage bike used to have those "down tube" friction shifters and the rear wheel is 5 speeds, so basically it works like the old shifter but now I have the control on the handle bar.
