Nine speed shifters are indexed for (drum roll...)
.....nine speeds. The amount of cable pulled by the shifter
is less than that for an 8-speed shifter. That's how they
get 9 cogs into the spacing that was formerly used for
eight. The chain is also narrower to accomodate the
narrower spacing of the cogs.
