Again, the light action function is only in the front derailleur lever and refers to a supplemental spring which decreases required lever effort when shifting the front derialleur.
I guess what is confusing to me is the Light Action component group that has a rear derailleur with a separate spring loaded anchor point. Both the 105 and "Light Action component group" have shifters that are labeled "Light Action." Do these Light Action shifters all work the same? and if so, where do the Light Action rear derailleurs fit in?
