It isnt the process you suggest, where push the lever left to upshift and push the lever right to downshift. I think pushing each lever outward would be tough for many and I assume thats why both the left and right sifters push inward only on all drop bar integrated shifters.
That’s a good point you make. Coincidentally, I have a set of those in a 3x8 shift for a dirt drop conversion I’m working on. I’ll be interested to see how I do with the different paddle arrangement. Thanks.
