No love in the GS thread, so thought I'd ask here;
Any thoughts on what the best all-round 9 speed Shimano STI shifters are?
Ideally 3x9 and inexpensive.
Being paired with an XT M751 (SGS Long Cage).
Last of the 9 speed Tigra?
Ultegra 6600 or DA 7700. Last of the good looking gruppos. Can't remember if there was a DA triple, but nobody will have bought it anyway.
Actually, anything other than last gen 9 speed Tiagra (4500) or Sora, as they have the gear indicators. Also, no 9 speed STIs ever had hidden gear cables, to save you checking [edit: until Sora 3000 - see below]
Hang on, latest Sora 3000 is 9 speed with hidden cables, no gear indicators, and probably the best looking. But double front only.
