Period.

Hopefully, with SIS/indexed shifters

In fact the 9 speed rear cluster is custom
gearing from MICHE. It cost a lot more in shipping
to import from Europe.

So No, I'm NOT looking for work arounds, or to
to buy yet another drivetrain, or components.

Thanks to everyone who wrote on how I might accomplish my goals

If you have everything, set it up and try the alternate cable routing. My point of not going that direction only applies if you don't have the components.

Use your 105 RD and see how it works. Worst case you are out a shift cable.

This is pretty simple, you get it to work or you don't.
