If I need to shift down from the big to little ring, it means I'm in my 50/24 combination. The next lower gear is 34/17, which is just slightly lower. So it's "click the left lever once, click the right lever 3 times".

But since the 34/17 is so close to 50/24, I usually want the next lower gear of 34/19, so it's "click the left lever once, click the right lever twice". No jarring. No drama. Click, click, click.
