Going indexed
Am considering converting the old 531 to indexed gears, but am not willing to spend £100+ on STIs, so was thinking of using Down Tube shifters instead - various places have these at £40 per pair (and get some cheap new brake levers)
I've got a nine speed block at the back - is there any problem with using 10 speed shifters? CRC have the Dura Ace ones at £40 at the moment
Also - can you use Campag shifters on Shimano gears???

It's just a hill. Get over it.

The answers to your questions depend on what you have. This link should help you decide:

I got shimano R400 8 speed ones for under £30 - I know you're looking for 9 speed but I did manage to get my original 7 speed shifters to work an 8 speed block successfully!
But if you check out my thread you'll see that I'm not that impressed - hopefully DA would be better quality.0 -

Cor - the shift mates etc sound good but frankly for $US40 it ain't worth the bother on my Sora rear mech!!!!
I think I'll just get some DT Dura Ace levers with 10 speed so it's future-proofed (ish)
