Funny, didn't have any problems shifting over to low-normal. Two of my three shifter bikes are set up that way. Strangely enough, my "off road" bike is the only one without that setup. And I do have to be more careful during shifts on climbs with that bike. (But that is the factory build.)
Now, maybe the front is more problematic, but it was easy for me with the rear.
