Has anyone ever bothered to machine custom click-stop plates to install in the shifter so that one can match different brands of derailleur abd cassettes? JG

Modolo made/makes shifters that will work with shimano and campy 7/8/9 speed systems. --------------------- Alex

Here you go: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yr2qug Quick & dirty: calculated values on the right from: http://preview.tinyurl.com/368wba Can't vouch for the accuracy but would be interested to hear from anyone who has measured anything different.

Further, if the OP is talking about Shimano STI levers, forgetaboutit! Its nearly impossible to take one apart and put it back together. Alternatively, if tweaking the cable routing doesn't work, i.e., hubbub solution, there is always the jtek shiftmate gizmos that appear to work well: http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/Shiftmate.asp Alot simplier and probably cheaper than trying to "machine custom click-stop plates ."

But in many of the most relevant cases there are alternate cable mounting tricks at the RD you can use to tweak the cable/derailer movement ratios to make things work perfectly.
