SHIFTERS & DERAILLEURS

SAMPSON SHIFTERS
For most riders, liking your shifter is one of the keys to liking your bike. Simply put, nothing else on the bike is going to shine if you never get to your happy place with your shifters. Which is exactly why we expended so much of our effort into the shifter’s feel!

SAMPSON DERAILLEURS
Tough, smooth and strong. The new Sampson derailleurs operate so smoothly they are almost silent when you’re riding! Fast, smooth and sure shifts are yours with Sampson’s new derailleurs!

Sampson Shifters & Derailleurs Advantages

SAMPSON SHIFTERS

Intuishift™ operation—allows you to focus on the road, not the shifter. Your braking, up and down shifts are all independent, so while you can do 2 things at once, such as braking while shifting going into a turn, it would be pretty hard to activate your brakes while shifting! Better control for you=more speed and ease!
Fast, easy shifts from your standard hand positions! From the tops or drops, you can easily activate the shifter paddles. The super short throw on the upper paddle for getting to a smaller cog provides 2 benefits-fast shifts, and you can easily shift when climbing or sprinting from the hoods.
Up the cog set—select from 1,2, or 3 gears per paddle push
Down the cog set- one cog per push, but the super short throw makes dropping the stack about as fast as the derailleur can wrap up chain
Trim position on left shifter keeps everything super smooth and quiet
All-alloy construction the shifter paddles gives strength and durability
Light weight-389 g. a set (w/o cables and housing)
Shifts Shimano equipment (uses a 2:1 pull ratio on the cables)
Affordably priced
Carbon wrapped levers look great and provide exceptional impact resistance against everyday scuffs and scrapes

SAMPSON DERAILLEURS

Front derailleur uses a full steel cage for fast, sure shifting. A wide pivot provides excellent support. While a steel cage s a few grams more, it is far stiffer than alu or ti for the support required with cranks that have a big chain- ring difference, i.e. 53/39 or 50/34
Fully polished cage and machined support bracket give a very high-end look to match the high-end performance!
Braze on style is just 98 g. Mate it up with a new Sampson clamp for great performance!
Rear derailleur features a carbon wrapped outer plate for stiffness and great looks
Full steel inner plate and Sampson developed springs give fast shift response
All alloy jockey wheel cages provide excellent stiffness for faster shifts and resistance to bending or shearing when debris is present
Fully sealed bearings on jockey wheels reduce friction and spin freely but don’t have the finicky issues of ceramics
Alloy jockey wheels are machined for weight reduction and give the Sampson derailleur a great visual distinction
Light! 189 g
Accepts up to a 28 t large cog when used with compact, 27 t w/standard crank
