Yes, you just have to match the number of speeds. 9 speed brifters are not
hard to come by. 3500 Sora is about the same as 105 from 6 or 7 years
ago. Or you can look for NOS 105 or even Ultegra 9 speed.

It sounds like the tire bead is not fully seating on the rim and as you
increase the pressure the tube is forcing it off. When you get a tire that fits
loose it can be tedious to air it slowly while rotating and being sure the

I'm with Michael - sounds like pinched tube. The best way to avoid pinched
tubes is to install the bead over the rim, starting just beside the valve

Do what you like, what works for you rather than what the industry, magazines,

Many people like them, they have a lot of advantages over brifters, and only
one obvious disadvantage, they don't come back to the middle when you move your
hand away from it.
Happy riding, Gunnar.
My wife has that same frame. I got it in 1998 or so complete from
Rivendell, if memory serves. It's shakedown was a tour of Ireland.
Excellent bike and the ride is superb. She won't let me change a thing

To answer your question, I use brifters with my Deore just fine, but

My only dislike about brifters, is that in my experience, they don't

My gofast Giordana has Sachs (Campagnolo Ergopower) 8 speed brifters. I

I bet the high end Shimano stuff (with metal levers) is similarly nice, but

Worth adding to this fine advice, in some circumstances an excessively
wide tube makes it very difficult to seat the tire without catching the
edge of the tube under the bead. If that's an issue, going to a
slightly narrower tube can make tire installation a lot easier.

Very nice! I have similar clearance on my Riv Road 650b conversion.
Plenty of room above for fenders, but no room at the legs/stays for
anything wider than a 38mm tire. I have Lierres on mine; the red B-lines

At the risk of stating the obvious, if you like brifters for your rear
derailer but not the front, you can always put a down tube or bar end
shifter on the left and just use the brifter for the rear mech.

Thanks Doug. I tried that out as well, but still no room. The silver brakes
have better reach than the Paul's, otherwise I'd just swap back.

How about adding a spacer at both ends to move the strut a little
outboard--just enough to clear the brake? You should be able to find alloy or
stainless spacers at your local hardware store. You'll also need some M5 bolts
long enough to accommodate the length of the spacer.

Nice Eric, thanks. Will definitely try to find a good size fit.

You might want to get a different bar to go with your brifters. The older style
drop bars like the Nitto noodle, etc, have broad front bends that can interfere
with braking since the shift levers are between the brake lever and the bar.
Not saying you can't do it with a noodle, just that it
Your Deore derailleur should work ok with 8/9/10sp Shimano STI. You'll of
course need to match the cassette and chain to the rear shifter.
I wouldn't hold out much hope that the front shifter/derailleur will work with
any of the cranks that Riv usually sells. If you have, say, 10sp, you should
