So I've been wondering about the Retroshift Gevenale for a while now, as far as I can see outside of racing/riding cross where the potential to break the shifter is high and replacement cost could be lower, they are a bit pointless?
Google also sort of confirms this, as far as reliability is concerned I've been using Sti's for around 6 years and haven't had a failure yet...
So, whats the point?
A genuine enquiry, not being snarky.
