When I swapped it over to Apex, I don't think I ever accidentally braked even once.
Really, which shifters, was this Sora?
I've been riding for less then a year, using Shimano 105 and have never had a problem with accidental braking. I actually prefer Shimano over Sram.
At least people have choices.
