Sunrace downtube levers.

[Paulus]

I am thinking of going back to downtube levers on my Galaxy. It was upgraded to STI levers and a 9 speed Tiagra triple 20 years ago.
Would a 9 speed indexed set of these work with the rear mech and cassette without too much hassle?

As far as I recall Sunrace are Shimano compatible 9 speed spacing / cable pull. I think Sheldon Brown has a few charts on his website ?

Should do as far as I understand it.

Should work fine, not cheap though:

Dura Ace are even a little cheaper.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I am going to restore the bike back to DTlevers and as near as aero brake levers so it looks near to what it was when I bought it in 1997.
