should this work?
I have the barends installed for a test but so far the hub is not shifting well. I only get about 2 or 3 shifts in the range of 7 clicks.

Now, the cable length might beed to be adjusted (shortened) and I know I have to algin the yellow markers on the hub.
But I have run out of daylight and so will look at all that more closely tomorrow.
