I have installed my first set of ergo levers on my first road bike after riding a hybrid
for 10 years.
I bought the Chorus Ergo 10 spd levers second hand. Since I am used to Shimano rapidfire shifters I
have a question about how far the downshift lever (not the thumb button) must be pushed over before
it shifts, and whether the action of pushing it over to the left is supposed to feel a little mushy
before it snaps over.
My shifter needs a good deal of range , its just on the limit of distance my finger can push
sideways without rolling my hand over... perhaps the 8 o'clock position and it just doesn¹t feel
ergonomically correct.
The upshift button shifts very snappy, so I have sort of eliminated cable adjustment (they are new)
and when the finger lever moves far enough, it also is nice crisp shift, and of course I get that
very satisfying Campy "shlink" sound to boot. Is this normal? Is this just new bike jitters?
