The Dura Ace bar end rear shifter just ate a detention spring this morning. I’m thinking of replacing them with Sora 9spd Brifters. Anyone using these for touring? I have never had brifters on any of my bikes so this would be a first for me. I’m favoring the Sora right now because as I have aged ,I’m spending very little time in the drops.

What do you all think? Go with the Sora brifters ($161) or spring $200 for another set of Dura Ace or go cheaper with the Microshift bar ends?
