9spd ultegra shifters

[homer]

Ek moet my 9spd ultegra shifters vervang ,maar dis nie meer beskikbaar nie. Wat is die alternatief ? Verstaan daar is iets soos Shimano 700 en hoe vergelyk dit ? Ek wil nie na 10spd opgradeer nie.

Your best bet are new Tiagra levers, they are still 9 speed.  The Shimano 700 are ten speed.

homer. Ek het 'n stel 9spoed 105 shifters. Daar was geen verskil tussen hulle en die laaste 9 spoed Ultegra nie behalwe die doppies bo op nie. Hulle is beskikbaar as jy belang stel. Pm my.

Homer, I think I have a pair lying around the house.  They still work, just rattle a bit.  If I still have them (can check tonight) then you can have them and try them out.  PM me if you are interested. 

I am in the Western Cape (northern suburbs)

You should advertise this more widely.  One of the main arguments for choosing Campag over Shimano is that the Shimano STIs can't be fixed if they break or get worn, while Campag can.

 

Of course, if it costs a fortune to repair the Shimano lever, it doesn't really help.  What is a typical repair cost (for the most common repair you have to make) or the typical range of prices for repair?

Versekering van n ou wat my van die pad gery het moet betaal. Ek wil darem billik wees en net dieselfde opsit. Van die val het die shifters skrape, maar werk nog ek wil nie daarmee ry omdat dit onbeskadig was voor die stamp. Die jockey is deel van die vervanging, sal dit n groot verskil wees om na 10 spoed te gaan ?

The biggest difference going to 10spd will be that your bike's 2nd hand value will be higher.  People see 9spd and they think it's not the latest, so not worth much.

 

I guess the extra gear will be nice too.  I'm in the process of switching from 12-23 9spd (Ultegra) to 11-25 10spd (Chorus).  I was always too vain/proud/insecure to fit a 25, but I recently got one with the 2nd hand bike I bought and I'm not going to spend money getting rid of it, so now I have the perfect excuse to have a woosy gear on my bike (which I've secretly wanted every time I've gone up The Glen in less than racing form).
