By the way I'm happy with cable brifters on my 2x10. It's that center chainring that's problematic.
Love it!
When a guy admits that he has problems shifting into the middle chainring we know we are getting somewhere.
I can't think of a bigger non issue I've ever experienced in a lifetime of using triples. Some times, with a poorly adjusted derailer it may be hard to get into the large range, and maybe there is chain drop going into low, but trouble shifting in the middle is a class all its own... yet consistent with other comments.
Why not just admit you like reading about new technology and like to dream about expensive bicycles, used to do some road biking, don't tour but like to hang out in this forum anyway. It would be more honest and explain your POV a lot better.
