How did you almost have an accident from a shift lever also being the brake lever?
I cant think of a time where i was having shift and brake with the same lever at the same time.
I have a set of Microshift levers on an old roadbike and they have a dedicated up shift paddle, down shift paddle, and brake lever. I like the set up a lot, but not because it is somehow safer. I also havent tried shifting while braking with those shifters either.
What do you use instead of Shimano...Campy?...i guess SRAM is an option, of course. I used SRAM once to ride a bike around the block that id worked on for a buddy. Interesting shifting style. Easy to adjust to. Didnt seem good or bad, really.
