Worse case scenario is that some models, available today, become more scarce. I'm keeping a pair of brifters that match my bikes, but I could use any left hand, 9 or 10 speed triple shifter from Ultegra, 105 or Tiagra if the exact model was scarce. I could also use any right hand 10 speed Ultegra, 105 or Tiagra made.
