ESCHLWC: Yes i did mean that.
As a wall hanger, I would reverse the cable routing.
Since my Trek has center pulls, it's not an issue!
COBRABYTE: Hmm...never thought of it that way! I shift using my right hand for either DT lever with few exceptions so never thought of levers being in symetrical in that way. Maybe, because even though the FD is the front most it is still under or behind me. Can't see it without taking my eyes off the road. There is a lot that is not symetrical, both QR levers are on the left side (although brake cables are routed the opposite front to back at the caliper, the drive train is on the left (not much choice there!), bb has fixed on the right and adjustment on the left and some cable routing is offset on TT's.
As simple as a bicycle is, we find ways to consider the n'th degree detail!
