I do it this way most of the time. I've only had the LHT a couple of months, so I've been having to get used to the bar end shifters as well as unclipping.
I'm getting to the point now where I can unclip fast on a stop if I have to, but I don't prefer to do it this way.
But I still am not interested in moving from platforms to clipless at this point for my mountain bike. If I do, it will be the Campus pedals, just for the sake of uniformity.
