« on: June 20, 2025, 09:13:41 am »Thank you for your thoughts. I have looked into the Microshifts, but not extensively. A mechanic at my lbs said he tried to build a bike with Microshift brifters and the advertised compatibility with Shimano components did not work in his case. I think the word he used was "nightmare." As for other line Shimano brifters , another good idea you float, there are apparently (the lbs tells me) compatibility issues with my Deore rear deraileur, which was not stock on the bike but was an emergency replacement.
