You're campag4life anyway, right? Why does it concern you?
Your silvercivic right? What are you riding a bike for?
Shimano has been contacted about this issue. Their 'company line' is, there is no issue with 9000 and changes from 9000 to 9001 are unrelated to any cable issue. The part number for the cable guide is the same between 9000 and 9001. Only the little door is different which holds the housing in place. Other thing is there have been some reports of 6800 failures as well.
Many don't believe that 9001 will resolve this issue. It may in fact be completely unrelated to the shifters and be a symptom of the poly coated derailleur cables Shimano is spec'ing for 9000.
