The short-reach STI levers are basically the standard Ultegra lever with a shim set that can be installed to bring the lever closer to the bar. They work great, no downside that I'm aware of. Frankly, I don't understand why they don't do the minor modification to all of their levers (to allow use of such a shim). --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles http://www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
