When I used brifters more often, I did simultaneous shifts all the time, especially when transitioning from the big ring to the middle ring. I'd hit the button on both brifters to go to a smaller ring on both front and back, and it would be a perfect transition every time. Well ok one time I dropped my chain, but that was the only time I can ever remember that happening and I'd done a similar shift hundreds if not thousands of times.
Now, the remnants of my go-fast bike are in spare parts boxes in my garage.
