I use dt levers on a couple of bikes. I enjoy the simplicity and 'modern 'indexing works so well. I find that I'm not changing gear a lot rather it's a case of anticipating gradients and the gear I need. I really like the uncluttered handlebar set up and besides I'm not sure I could manage to cable a modern brifter set up. Imagine on tour, if you dropped your bike and had a brifter break! What on earth would you do? I think i'll stick with a technology I'm familiar with.
