I have changed out bar end shifter for 9 Speed Ultegra brifters
Update on 2012 Soma Mini Velo.
Changed the shimano Tiagra groupset and bar ends for near pristine shimano 9 speed Ultegra components. I also went from the Soma stock 53x39 to 54x42 chainrings to try and use a bit more of the cassettes' 9 cogs... 53 kept me in the 11,12,13, and maybe the 14. Been too warm in Vegas to ride much, that should change in the middle of September.
I still want to try and ride 2020 miles on this Soma Mini Velo bicycle before the end of the year...
Have ridden enough to fix the brifter position, now it is time to spend a little time adding bar tape...
