I have a 19 year old DA 8 speed brifter with many 10's of thousands of miles on it and it still works perfectly, adjustments are few and far between, and simple. On the other hand I've got several old friction shifters (Campy, Suntour, Shimano) with worn out damper washers that I cannot seem to find replacements for. I've never once had an index shifter fail even with mountain bike abuse. I'm not saying a simpler design shouldn't last longer because of less stuff to fail, but that has been my experience. --- On Tue, 9/8/09, Seth Vidal <[email protected]> wrote:
