Not to break all of you guys fun in laughing at Shimano but check out BikeMagic or SingleTrackWorld about Shimano 2007, they are new ideas and new stuffs that will make SRAM list of idea for a new shifter style shortened, Dual Control will still be there although im not sure why you guys are so against dual control, rear derailleur are now offered in Low Normal or High Normal but the thing that got the most attention is the new Shimano Rapid Fire Plus with Dual Control, it means that instead of the traditional rapid fire (push pull), you can also do that push push type like SRAM. Some people say that Shimano is copying SRAM but I think Shimano is trying to make it convinient for all type of riders cause I like Rapidfire and Im thinking of trying out the Dual Control cause it looks cool and I love testing out new technology. Furthermore I dont understand whats wrong with low normal rear derailleur? I think its a great idea and people should open their mind and try it out
