Thx for the reinforcement. Do you mean you "almost dropped $400 but decided not to", or you "did actually drop almost $400"?
If you intentionally chose the microshift barends, how do you like them? In
the comments of my other thread here, I describe how my 9sp are overshifting the indexing when I downshift (push against the RD springs to move to a larger cog). Upshifting it snaps into the indexing perfect every time. I'm kinda wishing I had bought separate DA shifters for my retroshifts, so I'd have hopefully better indexing, or also a friction option.
