Nothing like riding a stealthy IGH, then downshift as you come to a stop. Everyone and everything is now aware of your presence.
Indeed, the sonic aspect of IGH with trigger shifters is very satisfying. With the very quiet belt drive, the sound of the trigger shifter while downshifting is even more distinctive, lets other riders know that they have company behind. As others have stated, the trigger shifter is better than the twist shifter.
