Just two quick questions on this:
- I assume when you guys talk about shifting problems under load, you mean shifting on the front derailleur
only, right? For the rear derailleur, the shifting process occurs on a part of the chain that is decoupled from the load, so load shouldn't matter for rear derailleur shifting, right?
- The (alleged) issues with Shimano shifting only occur with the STI shifters, not the downtube shifters, right? For the downtube shifters, the shifting motion should be more direct, without any dwell or any other gimmicks.
I'm just curious here; myself, I've been happy to stick with Campagnolo
