i am upgrading my downtube shifters to bar ends. i know i need the lever/shifter attachments for the ends and cable stops. i have Shimano SIS 7sp. i am seeing alot of cable stops on ebay and was wondering if there were any particular ones that won't work? (i'm looking at the ones that say shimano)
TIA, you all have been very helpful so far with my questions. thx
EDIT: also, if i'm not too concerned about indexing and would use fiction shifting, will most bar-end shifters (esp older ones) work? (i'm thinking i could find a better deal on those than buying the adapters and they might look better)
could i also just not use one of the spots on an 8 or 9 sp indexed?
