Thanks for the info. I will try the alternate routing first. If the brifter even pretends to work right I will look into a 9 speed cassete and chain. I hate to invest only to find its broken.

alternate cable routing than will increase the shifter throw and let you use these shifters with an 8-speed cassette.
