Solving the problems

So i found out what to do about my shifting problems.
The HORRIDLY expensive 8 speed shifter pods, are out.
IN are instead, the VERY much cheaper 9 speed shifter pods.
This guy
Has a picture & explanation, showing a way to make a 9 shifter work with an 8 speed cassette. Not only that.
My neighbor had a set of the adapter discs needed to make my 8 speed work on the wheel.
The rear derailleur can be the same, for both 8 and 9 speed bikes.
That means, that changing the fronts, will make my bike function as a 3x8 speed bike, that is until i have to change the cassette.
Then i will purchase a 9 speed one, move the cable to its right position, and have a blast, with my new 3x9 bike :-)

So now im driving a couple of sellers on dba.dk nuts, trying to push down price

Edit: I have now experimented a bit with the shifters. It seems to be allright, as long as im using the right sequence of gears. Meaning 9 on the handlebar, will be 8 in the back
