then there is my Campy brifters vs Shimano brifters which work exactly opposite. When I want to downshift I upshift and vice versa. Must be a Campy plot 😄
Have been getting acquainted with my newest bike, one with also my first e-shifting--a 1X12 that upshifts on the right and down, on the left. Put in quite a few consecutive rides.
Then last weekend I rode a different bike, a 1X12 with up and down both housed on the right. Sure enough, first time I downshifted I instead hit the riser post release and BAM, dropped the seat to the stop, hard, and ruined my day in a profound manner.
