Hello, Yes, it would work if you spliced into the wires between the black box and x/y (up/down) shift buttons on the levers. I've done this mod before for someone who wanted satellite shifters with the STIs....space is tight in the splice area but can be done with small wires and patience!
Space is EXTREMELY tight. Has anyone found a way to cut into the "black box" itself and attach accessory wires to where the shift buttons actually connect to the PCB?
I'm going to add TT shifters on the mini-TT of my road bike that I recently added DI2, but can't fathom how that little black wire is going to fit back into the casing once I have shrunk-wrap the new wires.

Carlton, Thanks. Yes, I feel like I got pretty lucky with these switches. In my opinion they make the build. I did a lot of searching and think these are a great choice for this application. They are fully sealed and high quality. Not cheap ($50/ea), but ideal for the application. I bought them at Digikey.com. I did not use the mounting hardware, but simply rolled electrical tape around the threads, reversed the tape halfway so the "sticky" side was exposed and wedged them into the bar ends like bar end plugs. They come with the rubber "seal" rings shown below, but the fit is so good, I just put a little silicone on the bar ends to form a seal. The Switches are rated waterproof/dustproof and I soldered the wires and sealed the connections, so I am not concerned about exposure to the elements. http://www.digikey.com/...t-detail/en/MTG72AD2

With the newest firmwares that allow multi or sequential shifting, do these work as momentary switches? As long as you keep holding up, it keeps shifting, right?
