Lemond speaks to my preference too, except it's Ergo on my bikes. We've installed a number or MicroShift levers on repairs in a spread of gear counts with no issues or acceptance problems. But we do qualify the recommendation carefully as some customers can be picky about different stuff

One aspect of their design that we do get feedback with, and maybe not applicable to all of the country, is that with heavy gloves on it can be hard to work the release "lever". Andy
