But they are absolutely fantastic. I shift very easily while riding on the hoods or on the hooks. Its nice to also know where you are in the cassette by way of the lever. Thats one of the things I love about my bar end shifters and that I loathe about my STIs.

Seriously impressed with the finish on them too. Some solid equipment and not at all 'aftermarkety'...if that makes sense.
