I'm planning on upgrading my crankset to an ultegra triple. Will my 105 shimano shifters work with the ultegra triple crankset. The specs indicate that the 105's will accomodate double or triple cranksets. Thanks for your advice in advance.

On a double, you use the first few clicks, then no more limited by the outer limit screw. On a triple , you use all the clicks.

Out of curiosity, how does a double/triple shifter mech determine that it should allow 2 (or 3) cable indices? Is it simply based on front derailleur limit adjustment (i.e. so in a double setup, the shifter can't 'pull' the cable anymore), or is there some more complex mechanism? I checked the Shimano website, but the answers aren't exactly forthcoming...the exploded parts diagram shows very little difference between the left and right brifter.

Knock yourself out and do some shopping.
