So who makes the best ones? All neutrals mod installed

I've gone for the FA Italia when I needed a replacement. You can spend more, but unless you're building race bikes, I'm not sure it matters. Positive

"Best" is the KR Automation box. Feels like EFL/Lusso on an older bike.

UTC quote I tried this one without luck. Then I went back to original old gear selector. Later I rebuild it with DRT arm, pin and new standard spring(I also tried reinforced spring but not liked it).
