STI, SRAM, Campy all go through a cassette plenty fast; they're all more ergonomic than these things (which means better lever feel and control); and it takes more than shifter to switch gears in a muddy 'cross race - if the conditions are that bad, the entire drivetrain gets compromised and gunked up. hence, the pit bike. anyway, they might be fun to try in other applications ... but, brifters work great. if somebody really wants to shift from the hoods, there are better options than this hack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
