The difference is that I'm using barcons on the end of bullhorns as I found I never rode in the drops. It also mean that it's dead easy for me to grab a honkin' great handful of brake which I could never do on the hoods. Admittedly my rear derailleur is Sora 8spd which might be substantially less finicky than the 9 and 10 spd gear but I doubt I'd really get that much more functionality out of another ratio or two. I like the fact that I can just whack it through a number of clicks and know it'll be well in gear and with the barcon lever you can still sort of half shift if you want, which was handy for the first day or two until I adjusted it properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29412627.post-24930795167343979752007-06-26T19:10:00.000+10:002007-06-26T19:10:00.000+10:00Quite agree with the sentiment, allthugh I am STI ...Quite agree with the sentiment, allthugh I am STI infected.<BR/><BR/>You might be interested in http://davesbikeblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/suicide-shifters.html<BR/>particularly the last sentence.<BR/><BR/>Cheerio<BR/><BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876977237097394431noreply@blogger.com
