While I agree on the bare facts with Steve, I have to add that on our
tandem w/ Shimano bar end shifters which replaced the
"broke-at-most-inopportune-time" OEM brifters and I have found some delayed
signal effect of my shifter inputs when waiting for the drivetrain to
respond.
This bike has vast runs of housing instead of strategic placement of
housing stops and bare cable down the long runs of frame tubes between the
bars and the derailleurs. There is simply too much compression within even
the most outstanding cable sets not to feel slow and unadjusted. I just
live with it or switch to friction once out of the noisier areas where I
cannot hear the clatter from the drivetrain over everything else.
