Yup, along with a Merckx with Barend EPS, Moots with new shape brake levers. Sweet feel. So if ha need any Ultrashift small bits, let me know, they were both UltraShift..Athena left, Centaur 10s right.

So a guy could turn a set of chorus or above 11spd levers into 10spd levers with this?

Yup, just the disc is all that's needed, and a rebuild.

I know I am probably in the minority here but I prefer the 10 speed record shape to "new" 11 speed shape.

I have them both and like them both bur for some reason my hands do better with the old shape. Also helps that it looks much better than the new shape as well.

OP-
Do you have any special tricks to fill the gap where the thumb levers used to be? Or are they not a big deal and you just ignore them?

I have only test rode bikes with 2009+ ERGO, and always thought they felt very nice. I ride it on Saturday.

Not a big deal on these or the Mirage ERGO 'brake' levers that I replaced..don't notice it.
