Shimano compatibility

JackPozzi

Is there a tech sheet somewhere that show which shifters are compatible with triples? I want to upgrade the old Tiagra STI's on my winter bike to something a bit nicer, but most importantly cheap so I'm looking at 2nd hand stuff, but I have no idea what will work with a 9 speed triple set up.

Any pointers on where I should be looking please?

Can't get it to recognise the whole link on it's own, you get the point anyway.

I am not sure whether this will help but what the heck it may lead you to where you want

I wouldn't bother unless your current shifters are broken. Any 9 speed 105, Ultegra or Dura-Ace shifters will be at least 5-7 years old and therefore well used.

Would you pay 90 quid for these for example? I wouldn't!

If your upgrading the shifters then why not go 10 speed ? you might just get away with only having to get a 10sp cassette aswell as the STI's

Winter bike is where the bits from the best one go when you upgrade that. About the only thing I buy for mine is chains and the occasional cassette. :?
