Thanks hyakuyen. The STI worked great the first couple of rides with a S T X FD but then I started having problems hitting all 3 rings. I replaced with a Sora road FD and had no luck and locked up my shifter. Might have been my fault for not anchoring the cable in the correct way. I gave up on STI and went with Durace bar ends. I need to post a pic of the new set up.
