like driving a stick shift. Not the most practical and not for racing but for regular riding it’s great. I have no intention of changing them on this bike. I find that I shift less often and think ahead more. It’s is mechanically sound and direct but requires some getting used to. You get very quick and skilled at taking a hand off of the bars momentarily but because of that certain cautions apply. Ie, rough terrain, strong wind.
I understand about DT shifters. I was under the impression that this is a bike you were racing, which is not a situation where I want any delays in my shifting, or have to take my hands off the bars in tight conditions. If you're happy with it, ride on!
