I'm pretty sure if you have a double crank that those shifters will work, you just don't use the 3rd click. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will clarify. Good luck.
It has a triple. It also has v-brakes. My Terry is a flat bar road bike. I think that it has the R-440 nine speed shifters, which look similar. So the R-441 will work on the road Tiagra front derailleur?
