[MENTION=29368]rootboy[/MENTION] owning and riding are.....
I use the right for the rear unless it is a combination or if I feel like I need to trim the front. Use the left to shift the front unless it is a combination and to trim. But sometimes I change my mind while using the left and to a combination with the left. I am very efficient!
The objective is to shift to the right gear ratio, not figure out which hand to use. This approach used for both friction and index on DT shifters. On the barcons, I never cross arms.
