Alex Wetmore has a great explantion (with pictures!)
here.
I have the Dia-Compe 287-V brake levers with bar end shifters. For brifters (on the NWT) you need the "travel agents" described in the article.

Just passing it along. Others on Bike Forums were incredibly helpful to me when I bought my NWT.
I did the century (rolly, but not really hilly) in 7:53. I would have been somewhat faster, but I stopped to rescue some damsels in distress: flat tire, spare had a broken valve stem, all their pumps failed, had to patch the original tube. It's hard to know how much faster I would have been on a faster bike. The fastest century I've done was 6 hours, but that was twelve years ago. I was hoping to do around 7:30, so I was pleased with the result.
