Dug this back up again because I learned something new - I've been told Shimano has always had shorter throw shifters in the ST-R600, or so I've been told, which are 105ish level shifters. I've done some digging and only found info that they're shorter reach, but not much on the throw. Does anyone have experience with them? It was also mentioned that Shimano will be making 105 and up shifters with shorter throw in 2011. (IIRC, I was trying to absorb a lot of new information all at once.)

And no, I still haven't done anything about the shifters I have, I've just been living with it (and hating it) since the Mr. has a few purchases on his list that take priority.
