Microshift mountain (?) shifters
How do I wire these up? Do I need to remove all these bottom screws in the third pic? I also see what looks like a small access hole in last photo. The front shifter has a rubber plug for this hole. Is that cable routing access?
I haven’t found instructions online. Not sure what to even call these. Whenever I google l get different models. I bought them on eBay and the plan is to do an upright conversion on a road bike equipped with a standard Shimano 10-speed cassette and 10-speed Ultegra RD. In the front is a FSA compact crank and I assume an Ultegra FD.

I cannot tell which shifter model you have but one of these instructions should get you close:

Basically, you want the shifter to be in its mostly paid-out cable position to be able to install/remove the cable head from its cavity.

It makes for a fast runabout, and beats all my vintage machines in terms of feel and responsiveness. The frame is more compact than I'm used to but I'm sure that (plus the tires and the weight) contributes to the zippiness it has.
