I haven't used the flared drops on my new bike at all yet. I'm going to try raising the bars (from slammed position), and see if they offer something like that.
The Apex 1 shifter, or the flared bars, or the combination of the two, has lead to me accidentally up-shifting a few times. The position of the lever and the lightness of the action is the cause, but I suppose you can get used to it.
