** Shimano Total Integration

Shimano Total Integration ( STI ) is Shimano's integrated shifter and brake lever combination for racing bicycles.

* Shimano Total Integration ( STI ) ( the marketing name for the integration of shifting into the brake levers ) for road bikes, enabling the rider to shift without taking the hands off the brake levers.

* Shimano Total Integration, gearshift system designed by Shimano for racing bicycles

In the early 1990s, Shimano introduced dual-control with a system called Shimano Total Integration ( STI ).

Shimano Total Integration ( STI ) is a gearshift system designed by Shimano for racing bicycles.

With the introduction of systems such as Shimano Total Integration, Campagnolo ErgoPower, and the more recent SRAM Double Tap systems, the majority of these issues have been addressed.

In 1990, Shimano introduced their STI shifting levers for road bicycles, which completely integrated the brake lever and shifter.

Shimano STI Dual Control shifter and brake lever: 1.

In 2003, Shimano introduced " dual-control levers " or STI for mountain bikes in their XTR groupset.

Innovations include index shifting ( known as SIS, Shimano Index System introduced in 1984 ), freehubs, dual-pivot brakes, 8-9-10 speed drivetrains, and the integration of shifters and brake levers.

Also, these components could only work properly when used with other Shimano components, e. g. its gear rear dérailleurs have to be used with the correct Shimano gear levers, cables, freehub and cassette.

For the most recent example, in 2003 Shimano introduced " Dual Control " to mountain bikes, where the gear shift mechanism is integrated into the brake levers.

* Servo Wave-This is a system Shimano introduced to brake levers which allowed them to pull more brake cable at the start of the lever stroke than at the end, giving improved separation between the brake blocks and the rim to allow for mud and lack of trueness in the wheels while still delivering the same braking power as systems which have a constant ratio between lever movement and cable pull and therefore less pad clearance.

Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM have introduced carbon fiber for their high-end shifters and brake levers, cranks, and parts of their derailleurs.

Early Shimano seven-speed cassettes are 36 mm wide, with sprocket spacing of 3. 65 mm, but levers and rear dearilleurs are not compatible with later Shimano seven-speed cassettes, which are 38 mm wide and have 3. 2 mm sprocket spacing.

Specialty wheels such as Aerospoke or Shimano " Sweet-16 " may build " tandem certified " racing wheelsets.

Sanbo Kyodan was also connected to the Soen Nakagawa-Eido Tai Shimano lineage, due to a personal fondness of Soen for the teaching practices of Harada roshi, who was the teacher of Hakuun Yasutani.

However, SRAM's direct mount front derailleurs are compatible with DMD, and certain Shimano E-type derailleurs can be used with DMD if the e-type plate is removed.

By 1987 Sturmey-Archer made only 3-and 5-speed hubs, and Fichtel & Sachs and Shimano made only 2-and 3-speed hubs.

As of 2008, Sturmey-Archer makes 3 -, 5-and 8-speed hubs, SRAM ( successor to Fichtel & Sachs ) make 3 -, 5 -, 7-and 9-speeds and Shimano make 3 -, 7-and 8-speeds.

In February 2010 Shimano announced the introduction of the Shimano Alfine 700, an 11-speed model.

Some modern hub gear systems ( e. g. 7-speed Shimano ) default to bottom gear and are thus more dependent on the cable-pull.

* The 11-speed Shimano Alfine 700 hub gear, introduced in 2010, has a gear range exceeding 4 to 1, comparable to 20-speed derailleur drive-trains, and internals running in an oil bath, for greater mechanical efficiency.

1979 saw the introduction of Shimano components and an ill-fated attempt to trademark Mountain Bike.

Shimano, Inc. () is a Japanese multinational manufacturer of cycling components, fishing tackle, and rowing equipment.

In 2005, Shimano had net sales of US $ 1. 4 billion, 41 % in Europe and 17 % in North America.

Shimano product sales constitute 50 % of the global bicycle component market.

When the 1970s United States bike boom exceeded the capacity of the European bicycle component manufacturers, Japanese manufacturers SunTour and Shimano rapidly stepped in to fill the void.

While both companies provided products for all price-ranges of the market, SunTour also focused on refinement of existing systems and designs for higher end products, while Shimano initially paid more attention to rethinking the basic systems and bringing out innovations such as Positron shifting ( a precursor to index shifting ) and front freewheel systems at the low end of the market.

In the 1980s, with Shimano pushing technological innovation and lower prices, the more traditional European component manufacturers lost significant market presence.

During this period, in contrast to the near-universal marketing technique of introducing innovations on the expensive side of the marketplace and relying on consumer demand to emulate early adopters along with economy of scale to bring them into the mass market, Shimano and SunTour ( to a lesser extent ) introduced new technologies at the lowest end of the bicycle market, using lower cost and often heavier and less durable materials and techniques, only moving them further upmarket if they established themselves in the lower market segments.

In the 1980-1983 period, Shimano introduced three groupsets with " AX " technology: Dura-Ace & 600 ( high-end ), and Adamas in the low-end.

By 1985 Shimano introduced innovation only at the highest quality level ( Dura-Ace for road bikes and Deore XT for mountain bikes ), then trickled the technology down to lower product levels as it became proven and accepted.
