my mistake.... I missed the inferred reference to post #44 where you discussed shifting while standing.....
"Integration makes it much easier to shift out of the saddle, which can be handy in spirited riding. It allows you to more cleanly maintain a good stride during standing sprinting moments, and it's nice when hammering up short hills with lots of grade variation."

I have to admit that I don't shift with DT levers while standing. Maintaining any sort of power while standing with only one hand on the bars seems like it would be difficult. I've heard friends comment that this was why bar-end shifters were invented... but I think they were just joking around.
