Not sure (actually doubt it) but earlier models are all over Ebay. Just bought DA 9speed yesterday.

TSR may hook you up…or there is ebay…I doubt they are making them…this is Shimano after all.

thanks,
i’m searching ebay, but everything is so freaking expensive - and they’res no stand alone right ones, the one set on ebay is listed as a 2005 9-speed ultegra… sounds fishy.
i was hoping to just buy a set and send you a left over left shifter, but that doesn’t seem possible now…
oh well, i’m still out untill i get the orthapod to determine if i need surgery (find out this week, if i don’t need a pin put in, then i can get a waterproof cast and start running again).

What would you need to change from 9sp to 10sp. Is it different derailliers and shifters or just chain/casette/chainrings?

I run 9sp 105 (with DA bar end shifters), and plan to move it all to a new frame (titanflex) but would like to save $1000 by not buying a new groupo this year. Do the same derailliers work with 10sp or do you have to change the entire setup?

Cheers,

Justin.
