[s]die[/s] be reminded of what a cheapskate I am every time I rest my hands on them?
Currently running SS on my CX bike, going to put a 1x10 on (yes I may be a fashion whore) so I only really need a right hand STI and as they aren't exactly cheap I'm considering just getting the one and keep using my old left hand brake. So, bad idea? Will the slightly different ergonomics start to annoy/chafe on longer rides?
In case it matters Tektro brake and tiagra STI, I know the tektros have a "boxier" feel to them compared to my 105s, dunno how they compare to tiagra tho.
I can do you a pair of 105 5600 STI's, the RH 10 speed shifter works perfectly, the LH ratchet mechanism is bust for the shifter, the brake works fine.
Basically ideal for a 1x10 setup. I was goign to build a 1x10 CX but plans have changed. You can have the pair for £40 posted.
OR I can sell you a 5600 LH only with a broken ratchet for £15 posted.

anyone know if the ratchet system can be stripped out of the lever? just thinking about saving a little unnecessary weight

yeah, if you want it to continue working even as a brake lever, I'd leave well alone. I am a super cheap skate, and will bodge until the nth degree to save spending cash, but the STI mechanism is not worth touching!
