Brifter Question
I've read someplace that the subtle pre-loaded "play" I feel in the large shift lever [as opposed to the smaller "dump" lever. . .or do I have that bass-ackwards?] is to invoke some sort of small tweak on the derailleur throw.
Could some kind person 'splain this to me? How would I know when I need to toggle it? Noise in the drivetrain maybe? Is there something here I need to consider when adjusting the derailleurs? Does it apply to both fore and aft derailleurs?
Mercy buckets. . .

Care to tell us what components you're talking about?

I think you are talking about the trim function. It is only available on the front and only on road setups as far as I know. You can get the technical info and how to use your particular shifters off the Shimano website.

Sorry, I don't mean to be too subtle for you.
