It's worth getting the Ultrashift versions, which are harder to find now in 10sp, which makes the 11spd/9spd option perhaps a better choice if you're not a hunter and seeker type.
Ultra shift gives you the ability to sweep multiple shifts on the rear derailleur in one operation - powershift makes you step through it. But probably more importantly is that ultra-shift gives you trim on the FD... IMO, it's worth seeking out the ultra-shift stuff for 10 spd. All 11 speed is ultrashift, so you're ok there. I have 10sp ergo set up on three bikes: two with old XTR derailleurs and one with a 9 spd Dura-Ace... works great in all cases with zero fussery. Seems to me the best option for brifter set ups - you get super nice shifting and easy/cheap replacement parts along the drive train.

Works fine. For the front I found that the Powershift (not Ultrashift) worked ok. It can make your head hurt trying to figure out what Campy is doing year to year with PowerShift, UltraShift, and even group to group. But Ergos are nice, that's the only reason I did it.

I have the best results with a short-cage (Ultegra), currently shifting a 12-30t on a single ring set-up. I also get really smooth precise shifting with a medium cage XTR rapid-rise (which I actually like for the ergo levers - lets me shift to higher gears from the drops, and sweep up to lower gears with a single big push of the thumb). anyway, just wondering if longer cages are more finicky for shimergo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
