Dura-ace downtube shifters and Ultegra rear mech
I've just bought myself a new Ultegra rear mech and a pair of braze-on
dura-ace shifting levers (downtube) ....ok call me old fashioned.....I noticed though that they say these shifters should only be used with Dura-ace rear mechs......Has anyone treid to use these levers with any other mech and if so what problems did you encounter...if any?? Cheers, Jon. |

william- I've just bought myself a new Ultegra rear mech and a pair of
braze-on dura-ace shifting levers (downtube) ....ok call me old fashioned.....I noticed though that they say these shifters should only be used with Dura-ace rear mechs.. BRBR If 8s DA shifters, route the inner wire on top of the fixing bolt of the rear der for 8s spaced shifting. If 9s shifters, use any rear der except DA 8s...

Jon. If you mean brazed-on mounts for shifters, you are still not stuck unless you want to stay stuck. There is a widely available set of bolt-on adjustable cable stops available for those brazed mounts. I used a set to upgrade my Pinarello to STI. -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |

All handlebar-mounted shifters intended for drop bar use come with cable stops that attach to those braze-ons.
