I know there are other brands like micro shift, but i’m concerned with my ultegra being 20 years old, even a 9 speed micro shift shimano compatible will not function properly with it. I also don’t want to drop 150 on shifters, when I plan on replacing the bike when I can. I just don’t know how long it will be before I can replace it.
