Have any of you Shimano Dura Ace 9-speed folks ever 'worn out' either
bar-end or DT shift levers?
It must take years. And you can just replace the guts...DA bar ends & DT
share internals.

The Microshifts are not just cheaper than Dura-Ace, they're cheaper than
anything Shimano. They're also more sweat resistant than anything Shimano,
I have a history of gumming up Shimano bar-ends. Never had this problem
with the Microshifts. I've had them on my Custom for 8 years and will put
Hi Matt -
I am familiar with the gentleman in Albuquerque. We have traded several
times (both directions).
I now have options on two sets of 9 speed Dura Ace levers. And both are
local. So hopefully - no shenanigans required in Albuqurque.

I agree. Using 10 speed shift levers requires the cable routing hack on the
rear derailer.

Hi Bill -
I will gladly take those 9 speed down tube shifters off your hands.
Let me know whenever it's convenient for you. I am in no hurry.

I have a set of used 9sp down tube Dura Ace shifters
I bought them when it seemed like a good idea because they were getting
more rare and expensive.
Corwin, if you still don’t have a solution in place next to week, I’ll be
near my stash and can work something out with you.

Re the Sunrace option. I noticed SjS Cycles in the UK carry these. They
also have a good selection of square taper bottom brackets.
I have always found SJS to be completely honest about what they carry, so
you could email them and request an opinion. Reviews on the SJS site for
the 8 and 9
Ah, interesting - amd I didn't know. Here's a set of concave baseplates
that would presumably be missing from the used thumby/lever combo, which
could hopefully complete that option. (The Pauls have the "square" milled

Keith, the Dura Ace bar end shifters bolt right on and look identical BUT
the rear shifter pods are different. The rear bar end shifters cable track
begins further away from the shifter cable vs a down tube shifter pod.
What this means is after the 5th or 6th gear, the shifter cable is no
I was first going to say what mr ray did: I'm happy with the quality of
the microshift shifters that I have. They're thumbie mounts, but the lever
shape really seems to be intended as bar ends, so they probably work ok in
downtube mode too. Easiiest thing though would just be to get dura
Hi Keith -
I've ruled out 10 and 11 speed as I want to be able to swap wheels between
bikes and have several bikes with 9 speed setups.
And I don't care if I have a friction option. Not sure how that impacts
things unless I was interested in brifters (which I am not).
Thanks,
Corwin

There is a gentleman in the group who lives in Albuquerque. I don't want
to name him and call him out as may not be able to pick up the shifters.
He is quite active on the board, so I will not be surprised if he posts on
this thread soon.

I was not able to locate 9 spd Shimano DS so I bought Microshift 9 spd DS
instead. Like you, I only require index shifting and having used them for
over 3000 miles, the Microshift have worked very very well. They are also
cheaper than Dura Ace.

Just thinking out loud and clarifying before I suggest something wrong:
If you use 10 speed shifters and want indexing, you'd have to use the
alternate cable attachment hack, right?
9 speed era and later, the dura ace cable pull was the same as other
shimano products, so you don't necessarily
