Hi there,

Yes it is, but the one retailer is selling the set.

G'day Melissa,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Sorry, I am still confused.

A set usually consists of a righthanded 9 speed sprocket shifter with a 2-3 speed lefthanded chainring shifter.

Is the shifter a lefthanded 9 speed sprocket shifter?

Kindest regards and best wishes for a happy life,
Paul

PS Nice pic

Hey Paul,

Sorry, I think I misread/made an assumption about your question. I see what you mean. I will ask one of the bike guys and have em get back to you. Sorry about that!

Take care,
Melissa

They said:

It is a right hand shifter for the rear derailleur. The way mountain bike shifters are set up [is that] right is the rear and left is the front. They don't offer an option for a lefty to operate the rear derailleur with the left hand.

Does that help?
