I've been using a converted 9sp ergo shifter with a 9sp Centaur rear derailleur and a Shimano 9sp
cassette with little fuss, but, because of a crash and because I think some of the older derailleurs
just look better, I'm considering getting a Record or Chorus 8sp derailleur.
Will the 9sp shifter shift an 8sp derailleur properly (with the Shimano cassette, though I think
we've established acceptable functionality there)?
Also, since I'm asking, are the left ergos rebuildable as triples the same way one swaps the
ratchet in the right shifter? How about functionality of triple front derailleurs shifted by
double shifters?
Thanks,
Seng
