My oldest son was home recently and we went out for a ride. None of my at-home stable has brifters. He's only used brifters and had trouble at first shifting on the DT, mainly because of balance. I told him to grab the bar next to the stem when he wanted to shift and that seemed to help. Doubt I'll get him to convert though.
