Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

If you buy a 1x set from Gevenalle, you’ll get the matching lever with it. No need to buy another one.

I shifted from the drops. Maybe it was the combined bar angle and hood angle that happened to make it possible? Not sure, didn't realize it was an issue.
I shifted from the drops with my pointer finger.

I’ve got them on three bikes now and really like them.

Not being able to shift from the drops is the one real drawback, but I don’t ride in the drops much so it doesn’t bother me.
Ah, understood. Yeah, I never quite got on with it (mine was a 1x). Have watched some videos of riders shifting away effortlessly with these, but I couldn't seem to make the shifts without scooting my hand forward fairly significantly. Maybe my hands are smaller than I think! Sits in my bin though---may give it another try next time I'm putting that setup together.
