you never get to the extra click if the limit screws are properly set. The IRD freewheel cogs have moders 9/8 speed spacing and will work with many modern shimano indexing systems. When the limit screws are set, you will only get the required throw out of the shift lever. Likewise, the silver shifters work fine on my 9spd cassete, yet I do not live in fear of them sending my 5 spd setup into the spokes - Rob
