Exactly how I felt.
I had issues when climbing, that I would end up shifting my grip as I got out of the saddle, and would change gears, throwing me to the ground. After the second time, I said eff it and bought a set of rapidfires for my bike at the time (DB outlook, 7-sp Shimano Tourney)...at the least when that bike got sold, it was a pretty tricked out bike, since it was pretty much made trailworthy minus the fork.
However after my experience, I just dont like twistshift. Maybe if they chose to not make the shifter half the freaking handlegrip I might have thought different, I dunno.
