Shimano Sora 2x9 replace

[Tourer]

I would like to change the drop bars on my gravel bike to butterfly bars. What can I use to replace the Shimano Sora 2x9 gear shifters? I cant find Shimano Sora flat bar SL r3000 shifters online available anywhere. Any ideas? Or do I have to change the drivetrain completely?

9 speed derailleurs in MTB and Road Shimano are the same cable pull. So get some 9 speed Shimano MTB shifters, they should be pretty cheap. The front derailleur pull is slightly different, but should work OK if your setup is 2x.

Thanks Martin the only 9 Speed shifters I can find are from Sram. Would they fit Shimano Sora derailleurs?

Generally SRAM and Shimano don't mix, without testing it, I would say it won't work.
