Is this a quick shift? i have the regular ergo that basicly u just crank it up and down and no issues playing one day with a shimano fd.
Thanks for the reply Ultra.
Yep. You can hear the ratchet slipping on the way down.
Just to emphasize, as long as I put pressure on the lever, the front derailer stays in the high position. Once I take away the direct pressure on the lever -- i.e., I am not releasing the tension with the other lever -- the cable slips and the front derailer falls to the middle position.
The front derailer works fine with a Shimano Ultegra shifter.
Seriously, have you ever heard of a road FD being incompatible with another road shifter?
ProBikeKit is threatening me with extra fees. They are claiming that the shifter is fully functional but have not told me how they determined that.
