Before i pull the trigger on these;

Will they be compatible with 9 speed Sora shifter/brake levers? Bit of research gives mixed reports.

I was using the same calipers with 9-speed Tiagra shifters before I upgraded and they worked absolutely fine. Vastly better than the Tektro's that had been on before. I'm now using them with 10-speed 105 shifters and they're also fine.

Cheers epicsteve. They are to replace stock tektro's on a Defy which are poor at best.

Yeah they'll be fine.

I used them with 3500 sora shifters for 1,000s of miles.

I tried decent pads on the Tektro's first and that was a big improvement, but the 105 calipers and the standard pads they came with were better still.
