...I don't get the "safety/perceived safety " with brifters thing ? How do you guys get a drink from your water bottle ? Do you stop every time you pull it out of the cage ? Serious question. How is reaching for a DT shifter any harder than retrieving a water bottle on the fly ?
In fairness, I do have some bar mounted bottle cages, but only on bikes that originally came without DT bottle cage braze- ons.
