Since I can use a 8 from 9 speed cassette on my tourer with 9 speed shifters my next question, which
I shall check out for myself soon, is this.
Can the band on band-on shifters (Shimano 105 6 speed) be used to mount braze-on downtube shifters
on a frame with no braze-ons ? Can the band be used to mount downtube cable stops should I decide to
use STi or bar end shifters ?
As an aside, why can't one simply change the SIS piece in downtube levers to convert them from one
set of speeds to another ? Looking at the exploded diagrams in Shimano.com, there is a small ratchet
type component in a lever which maybe ought to be exchangable for a higher (or lower) number of
speed one. Maybe I'll give this a shot too.
