HELP SECTION

Fixing Type - if you have small mounts on either side of the frame’s down tube you need braze-on shifters, if there are no mounts you’ll need clamp-on (sometimes referred to as band-on). Some 'aero' frames have mounts fixed to the top of the down tube, for these frames you require top mount shifters for the correct boss type (see below).

Shift Type - friction shifters don't click into gear when you change, when they do click it's referred to as indexed shifting. For this to work correctly you must use the same system as your rear derailleur, if you're using friction levers you can mix and match. You don't need to worry about the front derailleur as left downtube shifters aren't indexed.

Speed - the number of cogs at the back the right shifter is designed to be used with. This is important with indexed shifting but with friction shifters you can in theory run any shifters with any speed setup, although the right lever will need to be pulled back further to shift into the larger cogs.

Shifter Boss Type - the shape of the mount (for braze-on fixings only). Campagnolo / ISO is standard and easily identified by the flat sections on either side, usually combined with a square base for the backing stop plates to fit. There are also Shimano ones with a keyhole shaped base and much less common French ones that are round with no flat sections.

Boss Thread Size - M5 (5 mm) is standard for Campagnolo / ISO bosses, but Shimano bosses will often have M4.5 (4.5 mm) threads and the French bosses would likely have 5 x 1 mm threads.

Fantastic variety of doggie toys perfect for our little fur baby!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Fantastic for smaller dogs, our little chi-mix loves all of the toys, there's such a great variety and he's having so much fun chewing them and playing fetch with them. Even comes with many extra rolls of waste bags which is awesome. Highly recommended for the value and amount you receive!

SMALL DOGS ONLY!!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Every one of these toys are made for very small dogs. 🤣 They're almost too small for my 8 wk old border collies. Im still not upset at the order though as the pups will all be rehomed after this weekend. Was just bummed that every single one was made for SMALL DOGS. Am super happy with how fast shipping was.

Nice dog toys
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Nice toys, but no match for my 2 year old female pitbull. Most toys she shreds. Even some that are supposed to be indestructible. Some of these lasted for a while.

Wash first
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
These are excellent and very well made for a 1 and 1/2 lb Chihuahua girl. I don't know how much they would hold up for a bigger dog but they're perfect for a little one. We always wash all of her toys first and I didn't notice that there were garbage bags in there. Which ended up being a good thing because they were scented. Washing help to get most of the scent off and it took the scent off of the toys. She hates the scent. Me too. It was nice to have the doggy bags though and we would prefer them not scented. We didn't dry the toys and we let them air dry which is a good thing cuz it might have ruin the bags. The bags are a little small and short compared to the normal bags that you buy but overall this is a really good value and she loves all of the teethers and ropes very much. Very well made. Nothing has fallen apart and she has chewed it a lot. I don't know how it would be for a bigger dog but for one and a half pound puppy Chihuahua it's perfect
