Interesting question. I'm also curious how much frame size has to do with DT shifter preferences.
I ride a ~67 cm frame and the reach to DT shifters is insane, making me uncomfortable using them. For this reason I have a strong preference for barend shifters. I'm curious if this is true for other tall riders. -Rex On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 5:00 AM, Forrest <[email protected]> wrote: > Among those of you who now use downtube shifters (or have in the past), how > many of you are confirmed fans of downtube shifting, and how many of you > tried it as an experiment but then switched to a different shifting system > that you felt was better?
