PaulSmith Posted November 5, 2021 Share Hi all My son has a Titan Hades 20 inch The Shimano 6-Speed Twist shift is in tatters, and he's traditionally battled to use it properly I'd like to replace it with a traditional finger shifter to make it easier for him, and hopefully create as much enthusiasm for MTBing as I have My Question is: I'm not finding used 6-Speed Shifters, would it be a Technical issue if I used a 7-speed shifter? Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 5, 2021 Share If it is Shimano Tourney at the rear then 7 speed will work fine it is 6/7speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I got a 6.speed trigger shifter last week. Trigger to go larger ... Push button to go down. Works very nice for the 5.year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Hansen Posted January 11, 2022 Share I did the same when my son had a 24" Hades. Just for reference the 24" Hades does not have a replaceable cassette but rather a cluster/freewheel so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mms206 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Thanks for the replies gents. Hopefully picking up the bike tomorrow and will see how the lil man gets along with the grip shift but I have a feeling it'll need a change😁 I don't see much 6 speed shifters available in JHB so might have to test a 7 speed with the existing cassette and chain. Cheers👍 ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted February 9, 2022 Share I think I know the answer, but I'm taking a chance that I'm wrong. Will this work for a 6 speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
