I have mine a smidge high. So I can reach them with my little fingers from the tops.
In the drops you can use the regular shifters yes. I can reach mine even with my hands quite low. Because I have the rearmost levers shifting the rear mech. So I only need a finger tip to move up and down the cassette. Still feels nicer using your thumb though.
But when you're in a less aggressive, cruising, position. More towards the ends of the drops. Thats when the sprint shifters really shine.
On mondays 70km race I reckon I did 90% of my shifting with them.
But then my current set-up isnt really a great hoods riding set-up. They feel a bit high to me.
Feck. Forgot to use the term cockpit.....

Q.
The regular shift levers let you shift from the drops. These satellite sprint shifters... you use these with your thumbs?
