You know. I think Shimano should think about migrating their DCL shifting technology from their MTB line to their road groups. I'd like to see a lever that swings both ways. In reailty, I'd like for them to fix the brake lever and just have the secondary lever swing both ways. Inboard to pull cable tension and outboard to release. Additionally, place a thumb-extension on the lever so you can actuate a cable release via a thumbshifter. And of course make that extension removable like the thumb-assists on the MTB DCL for those who find them unnecessary.
