I looking for aero shifters and aero brake lever with INTERNAL ROUTING feature. My rear and front derailleurs a Shimano Ultegra. Brakes calipers are Tektro Carbon.

But if your on a buget check out Nashbar.com. you can pick up Dura ace shifters with the cables for $69 and nashbar brand brake levers for $24 a pairbut no cables. Cables are cheap. |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Advice needed for shifters and brake lever Nope. You may be able to get them to work through most of the gearing, but you would really need a SRAM derrailleur to get it to work right (you can still use a Shimano chain and cassette). Edit: brake levers don't make a difference. You can run whichever ones you want as long as they fit into the base bar. Edited by Daremo 2009-11-09 8:41 AM |
