OK mechanics, D/A shift levers
Quote | Reply
I am installing dura ace levers on my softride. They are new and labled for 9spd, but they only click 7 times, telling me that is for an 8 spd. In order to use them on a 9spd cassette do you have to go into friction mode or am I installing wrong?

Thanx.... Brian

They do make eight speed levers, so it is possible that yo have those. That would be areal bummer. Get the right levers. Shifting the rear derailleur in friction mode is definitely not cool.

I don't think you have installed them correctly. You have to move the rachet mechanism till it works right. Just try changing it's orientation around till you get it. Be patient ! Even I can do it so theirs hope for you:-)
Good luck The Dirtball

When I did not install correctly, I think I always got six clicks, but was able to shift through all nine gears. If you think you have the right part, we can talk you through the installation.
