I've been riding with bar-ends for quite a while now and I love being able to shift by feel and not having to adjust indexing.
My approach to technical riding is usually to get in the lowest possible gear and pedal it out - it's worked out this far.I might just go for a hulsroy/Paul Comp mod with a thumbshifter in the middle of the drop bars, when I rebuild my Genesis.

Thank you! I don't know whether I'll keep the blue forever but it's nice it being a feature and a bit different.
It's fun, the process is something along the lines of:
-scope out uphill
-guess gear
-stick with it until I fall off/unclip/spin out
which isn't so far from my experience with bar-ends to be fair. I like that it stops me over-thinking my gearing. Might be frustrating on very long rides when tired and fumbly.
