I have a number of bikes with the pointy gen Ergo levers and Shimano (or SunTour) ft ders. I've only had one pairing where the fLH Ergo wouldn't hold it's position under a hard sprint or hill climbing effort. I replaced the index gear after the G springs were and problem solved (BTW this is the only index gear wear that I have ever heard of needing replacement).
Also I run Shift Mates on all these bikes. I find this to be a better device to translate between different cable pull ratios then cable clamping changes are. Most of the cable clamping changes I've worked on loose their accuracy at the limits of the der's range while ShiftMates maintain the cable pull difference through the entire range. Andy
