After 6 years of faithful service, my Ultegra brifters are finally
fading. I had planned on moving to 10 speed - slowly - by purchasing a
new set of brifters (Ultegra or DA), and pairing them up with an 8s DA
rear mech until I was able to afford (the only bad thing about being a
student again) the 10s casette and RD (I know, I can still use my
Ultegra RD, but its pretty battle scarred after a few commuter near
misses).
Anyhow, a perusal of performance bike has led me to change my
mind...$360 for ULTEGRA?!?! has Shimano finally lost it?
So I'm thinking that a move to Campy is in order (who'd have ever thunk
that ergo would be cheaper?). I'd like to go with the same general
battle plan - 10s brifters shifting a 9s drivetrain with Shimano
wheels/casette. Are there any mix-&-matches that will let me get away
with this, or should I pop for Chorus 9 brifters and replace the cam
when I'm ready to go 10?
Oh, to really make matters confusing, I want to stay with a Shimano
casette to maintain compatibility with my current (shimano 9s DT
shifter) commuter bike.
