Right... This is turning into a bit of a saga. Following on from my last thread (in the accessories forum, whoops) I've decided to go for sti levers and some problem solver travel agents.
now that the brakes are no longer the problem, the gear shifters are.
I have a shimano 21 speed bike. I can find a shifter for the rear on its own. I am having more of a problem finding one for the front.
Would a shifter that is intended for a 9 speed system work correctly on my dérailleur? i.e. can I use this:

and this:
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=45708
to work on my 21 speed
I'm thinking that the front dérailleur shouldn't be that big an issue it being for the wrong speed, would I be right?
