Thanks for the replies all. The cables and housing are about new, they are what came with the STI levers. The bike did not come with tourney, it's a converted 10 speed to 14 speed. My main problem with shifting is probably the indexing. When installing the rear derailleur and shifters I spent probably 2 hours trying to get cable tension correct in order to shift with a simple click of the shifter. I usually have to click once and then push on the lever until it almost clicks again.

I would honestly like a durability upgrade at least. I appreciate the advice on the alivio/Deore; good point I will look at those.

Thanks,
Andy

would Claris be another good option?
