So as some of you may know the dura ace 9070 shifters have the little hidden buttons under the hoods to cycle through garmin screens, etc. Anyone have any solutions to achieve the same thing with ultegra 6870 shifters? Im sure you could use some kind of those little cat eye buttons but I'm not electrically savvy. Thoughts?


Best,
Kevin

Someone would have to take apart their 9070 shifters to see if there is a separate circuit board that this buttons are connected to, or if they are just wired into the same board that the shifting buttons are connected to. Good luck finding a volunteer to do that!
