funny Rick.
but in all seriousness, I certainly wouldnt think of going left hand shifting.
From car shifting, to downtube shifting, to sti rd shifting, the right hand certainly has all the muscle memory for shifting.
I take it that you are a strong leftie?
hey, if it works for you, thats all that matters. Just an interesting thing to see.
I have never had STI/brake shifters. I used bar end shifters on my drop bar bikes with derailleurs. Ergon only makes Rohloff specific grips for right handed so I had to cut the left grip on a standard pair myself. I run the front brake to the right hand like my motorcycle. I have always ran my front brake to the right hand and when some bicycle shop has insisted on doing it incorrectly on a new bike after I request it my way, they loose me as a customer. This has only happened twice though. Also: Grandma tried to train me to not be a lefty by embarrassment and manipulation. She even tied my left hand behind my back one evening at the dinner table. This did not go so well for her. So If you have a problem with it, as always how is that my problem.
