I've just set up my Saint 9spd shifter and have found the upshift and down shift opposite to what I have found on other bikes. Pressing the lower shifter shifts up (smaller cogs) and vice versa.
Is this normal and can I change it?
Nope mine don't do that, what mech are you running them with?
The wrong one!! So I've just found out. Got an XTR M980 10spd mech and I have 9spd cassette. Looking for suitable mech now.
Yep, that's it, mechs are either spring loaded to naturally pull the chain down the cog as with saint mech or pull the chain up the cogs. The saint shifter lower leaver will pull in the cable thus pulling mech against its spring and down cogs. The saint mech the neutral position is smallest gear so taking in cable will take it up cogs...
But you probably know all this by now.
