  • I can maybe try a Huret shifter on an Exact Actuation derailleur and see if can pull through the entire cassette if you like?

    Would be great!

    Not keen on TT500 bar ends? You can get a used set for £20-30

    That was the initial plan, but haven't been able to find any.

  • Well bugger me, it works perfectly.

    Top gear:

    Bottom gear:


    Shifter is on the top tube, you can see I can get into both the big sprocket and the little sprocket. Cable routing is a mess now and the cable was only barely long enough with this housing, you can see it just barely clears the clamp bolt

    Will keep this derailleur on though, the cage spring is much better than the old one I had on.

    Major caveat - it works for my combo of shifter and derailleur, cannot comment on yours!

    Edit: proper bodge drivetrain, ancient Huret shifter, 9-speed cassette, 10-speed SRAM MTB derailleur, £10 eBay NW ring, Shimano Claris cranks...

  • Ace, thanks heaps! Mine will at least be all road parts, but Campag levers, Huret (or whatever I can find) shifter, Sram derailleur, Shimano cassette is a pretty scrappy mix too. :)
