Brifter Clicks

Hello, just trying to figure out if some 3-4 year old ultegra shifters are 9 or 10 speed.


its 8 clicks for 9 speed

9 clicks for 10 speed?


They are up at my cabin, I just remember clicking them 8 times, otherwise Id check the model number.

Thanks

Yes. Starting position is one, then 8 more clicks = 9 speed.

Clicks are like the gaps between your fingers. N+1= number of fingers.

Yes, the number of speeds are always one more than the number of clicks.

there's where you start, plus X number of shifts, resulting to 1+X number of speeds.
