What are you doing to yourself?

I guess they're a teeny bit safer, coz there's always gunna be that moment when you need to slam on your brakes right when you're changing gears, but... if you have your brakes on the 'proper/Euro way' (right lever to front caliper), it wouldn't be as bad, assuming, of course, that you'd be using your right on the down-tube shfiters.Thylacine said:whether there was any real reason?...?
The only reason I'd have STI jobbies on a tourer/commuter would be because I find they're so much more comfy than the brake-only ones. Otherwise, downtube thingies are "Cool."Thylacine said:Sorry to interrupt our regular programming with an actual bike question, but I was wondering for a recreational cyclist, whether there was any real reason to have STI/Brifters/Those Thingies You Brake and Shift with?
Crazy or Cool?

I never race road and don't see myself doing so in the foreseeable future, and honestly, when I was using downtube shifters I never really saw a problem with them. They worked, weighed nothing, and were cheap.
I did the sums too, and you can save over $150 and 200g by forgoing the hulking great STI levers in favour of Carbon Record levers and Dura-Ace dowtube shifters.
Crazy or Cool?
