any info would definitely be appreciated...

thanks!
also: I have an 8 speed bar end shifter (sl-bs64-8) that says it works with the ultegra 8 speed system... however when I installed this, I could only get 5 clicks out of the shifter (although it does seem to shift compatible with my derailer...
any ideas of what the problem is? thanks!
