My bikes don't qualify. One's a 7-speed, the other a 9-speed. Brifters were a key part of the decision as to which drive train to run. (I'll never ride a bike where the brake levers operate the gears, I've been applying sideways pressure to the levers forever to steady the HBs when I reach down for a bottle. NOT when I want to be shifting!) So I've got a Campy drive train but ... it's never graduated from an ongoing case of the DTs.

I saw the thread title and thought that maybe the moderators were going to try P & R again, maybe with new guidelines. This looks far easier to manage!
