Since mine in synchro shift mode, I reprogrammed the buttons to work in the way shifting works on Sram electronic shifters, e.g. any button on the left lever shifts to an easier gear and the right one shifts to a harder gear. Ultegra shifters also have two additional buttons on top of the hoods that I programmed to control the front derailleur, but in practice, I never use them other than for maintenance.
Electronic shifting is amazing.
Can you shift the front by pressing left & right levers simultaneously (like SRAM), or do you have to use the buttons on the top of the hoods?
