Can a DualDrive hub work with brifter style shifters? If so, any particular models that work?

I think I know the answer, but appreciate it if someone could verify this.
thanks, Duppie

Yes. Apparently the pull for the front derailer is a close match for the internal hub. Presumably since you have a 9 speed cassette they would use Tiagra. But if you look on their website, they have a few "sport" models that mate drops bars with the Dual Drive.
