So, you've shifted both DT levers simultaneously lots of times?Originally Posted by dare- .
The downtube shifters are right next to each other. I've shifted both with one hand lots of time.
How often do you need to run across the whole cassette? My Campy Record will do that, but I've never needed to do it. I can't think of where such an abrupt change of gearing would be necessary.Originally Posted by dare- .
I have a bike with STI and one with downtubes (indexed). I prefer the STI but just barely. On twisty downhills, I feel a little antsy letting go of the bar. Pros of DT: you can run across the cassette with a one movement, less housing friction.
That term has been around as long as 8 speed Campag ergopower shifters. If anything, the terminology police should be after people that say "Campy". Do you see Campyagnolo on your equipment anywhere?Originally Posted by alienator .
The cycling terminology police might hunt you down for saying "brifter." /img/vbsmilies/smilies/wink.gif
