Hi, I have the Deore LX gruppo on my TREK ATB and would like to upgrade my shifters and break levers to RFP. The press in the Mountain bike rags has been quite positive. Has anyone used them? I'd like to know what real people think of them. Thanks. Pat

I tried a new Trek with RFP and I liked the shifters much better than
the RF (Deore DX) shifters on my Trek. However, after asking how much
it would cost to convert to RFP, I decided to go with Deore XT thumb
shifters (above the bar). The RF shifters are removed, but the original
brake levers are still used. And I can always go back to the RF
shifters if/when I want to.

called them rapid fire plus...I just love them...
