I feel kind of like an idiot for not being able to work this out... Here it goes...

I have a set of Shimano RSX brifters - how can I tell if the front is a double or triple? Thanks.

double 3 clicks triple 4 clicks the extra click on each is for a trim position. At least this is how it is on all the modern brifters I've used

On the RSX shifters, the triple shifter only has 2 clicks and the double only has one click. These shifters didn't have trim clicks like the newer shifters. .

Shimano triple shifters work with a double but not well. Campy shifters work perfect with either double or triple.
