I had Rapid Fire, now I went to 9spd and have the new Shimano LX shifters, don't now the name but shifts are done by moving the brake lever up or down, it works similar as the road bike shifters. I'm happy with them, easy shifting even, can shift and brake simultaneosly.

If you can get a hold of some older or lower end Rapid Fire's try them out.

Thats what I did. Found a Garage sale Mountain bike for cheap and took the older Shimano Brake shifters off ( All Metal) and put them on the Cannondale. Gripshifts worked fine but I like RF better. Havent had to replace these yet.

Grip shift. Great for grabbing a hand full of gears quickly. Cheaper and usually lighter than rapid fire. I'm currently using rapid fire, and I don't like grip shifts enough to change out a working set of rapid fire shifters.
