I know this is the mechanics section, and not the riding technique section, but what is the proper procedure for shifting the front well? Obviously you want to avoid doing it under full load, but what other advice is there? When it comes to modern indexed brifters, isn't the downshift to the small ring completely reliant on your setup/installation, since it's a spring loaded click that you can't control? Genuine questions...
