upgrade to flight deck shifters?

[drewski]

i've got Dura Ace STI levers with no buttons for Flight Deck and it's about time to replace the hoods.

i've only seen replacement hoods with flight deck buttons so . . .

will i get full Flight Deck functionality by using these? or maybe just use of the computer control buttons, but not the "which gear am i in" functionality? or neither?

anyone know? TIA

You may have to replace your STI levers if you will use the Flite Deck. The FD compatible levers have built-in electronics/circuitry. Likewise, the Flite Deck fit specific versions of levers. To be sure, get the latest Flite Deck and the latest STI lever.

The latest Flite Deck (SC-6501) will give you the following features:

Current Speed
Clock
Trip Time
Trip distance
ODO meter
Stopwatch
Stopwatch-trip distance
Stopwatch-average speed
Stopwatch-maximum speed
Cadence (Virtual only)
Maximum Speed
Average Speed
Lap counter
Gear number (digital)
Gear indicator (bar)
Gear ratio
VEL : AVE comparison

Hope that the information I gave will help you.
