So if you tap the shifter in the manner of a normal downshift while in the biggest cog, it upshifts? And if you tap beyond that, it does nothing? I'd accidentally upshift all the time if doing that. Think going toward a steep pitch... oh !@#$ sets in, and I tap downshifts like crazy, not completely sure how many reserve gears I have. I'm not trying to count or to feel what the response of the shifter is... just tapping three or four times when I might only have two gears in reserve. [Edit: Yes, on both Shimano and Campy, you can downshift a few gears at a time. But that has never become second nature to me, so I just tap repeatedly when I want multiple downshifts.]

I look forward to trying it out for myself sometime, but the concept just doesn't really sit well with me. But then, neither does Campy's shifter setup (even though I've tried it). But choice is good.
