Ok don't want to sound dull but my xtr m952 shifters I use my finger to go to the smallest cog on the back and thumb to go to the large.
Just got a 2004 giant nrs with deore shifters and the finger on the right shifter goes to the biggest cog, opposite to what I'm used to.
When did that happen and why?
rapid rise mech
Ah i see
hand on wrong way.
Has any one got both types on different bikes?
How do you get on? Will it be confusing/annoying?
I used to have both types on different bikes, and I did find it a bit odd for a while but not so bad that I ever swapped back. But it was not any wierder than when I got sram shifters and had to change from 'finger over top' to 'smaller paddle with thumb' in order to go down the block. FWIW Rapid rise derailleurs made a lot more sense with those flappy paddle lever/shifter combos that shimano don't do any more.
Simple enough to swap back to a 'low normal' if you are fed up with it though.
