9-sped bar end shifters for Campag?

Stuck on a Giant

I'm thinking of adapting my road bike for TT'ing and would like to fit bar-end shifters on the aerobars, but I've got a Campag 9 speed groupset and can't seem to find shifters that will do this - any ideas?

Thanks

I read somewhere that 9sp campy bar-ends were never made. I'm not absolutely sure about this however..

I also have a 9sp campy road bike, that I converted to a "TT-machine". I used Dura-ace bar-ends which can be operated by friction. No clicks when changing, but it works for me.

EDIT: Mine are old 8sp dura-ace shifters, shouldn't cost too much.

Campag did make 9 speed bar end shifters. If you search on this forum there is a thread from the last month or so about it. The tech docs on the Campag site should give you the part numbers (could be downtube shifters though).

Campag did make 9 speed shifters - I've got a pair

Other options are to get some 8 speed shifters (or 10 speed - but they're not cheap!!) and buy a 9 speed ratchet for them. Or you can use Shimano / Dia Comp ones on friction setting. Final option would be 8 or 10 speed bar end shifters, take out the ratchet and basically convert them to friction. Friction when TTing isn't the end of the world as your hands are right there to tweak if needed!!

As others have said, 9sp Campag bar-ends did feature in the range, just as 10sp ones do now. They do seem to be harder to find than their Shimano cousins, though, and somewhat pricier.
