The new version without the mech hanger is amazing, reportedly nearly indestructible and somehow shifts better under load than soft pedalling.

Have you got your shifter in-between the brake and grip? That can't possibly be comfortable. Move it inboard of the brake.
I have mine set up so the shift lever falls just at the inner edge of the grip.

Still getting thumb pain from stupid MTB shifter. Thinking, if I move it way further inboard, towards the stem, I'll not have to cock my hand back so far to shift to easier gears.
I don't actually know which movement is causing the pain, but it's right thumb only so I have to assume shifting.
Also, don't know how much adjustment I've actually got without also moving the brake lever too far away. I did fit a separate mount instead of the I-whasit so I had more adjustment. Will have to have a play.
Other suggestions? Di2 seems like an obvious choice as does singlespeed (which ain't happening, soz) :)
