Whilst accumulating bits to upgrade my chainset, I broke my elbow and patella.
I made it out for a first ride yesterday (20 mins on road, 5 mins off).
I changed from X0 3×9 to XT 3×10 (XTR crank and RF N/W).
I was very impressed with the crispness of the shifting. It felt more like the SRAM clunk as opposed to softer shifting on older Shimano shifters.
I like the idea of the two-way down shift with the new Shimano. I used my thumb for both up and down shifts but it didn’t feel quite as ergonomic as SRAM thumb shifters.
Is it because I’m coming from a few years of SRAM and I’ll go back to thumb and forefinger?
Does anyone else only use their thumbs on Shimano shifters? Do you agree that the ergonomics are a little off?
