If you like integrated shifters, go for it. If you prefer dt or bar-ends, do it! Try them all and see what works for YOU!!!

If you weigh a pair of Shimano brake levers (115g) and DA 9 DT shifters (170g) the total is around 285g; the same levers (115g) and DA 10 bar-ends (205g) is a bit more at 320g. In contrast, Sram red integrated shifters weigh about 290g; Campy SR 11 ergos iabout 330g and DA 10 STI are around 380g > Not that I care a TON but that is what I heard. Hey I CARE!
