Fair point; my estimate was based on fitting them to my fixed gear road bike, so braking and shifting were non-issues. It's also the case that I took to them straight away when I first fitted Profile Aero IIs to my then geared roadbike in about 1989, but I realise that not everybody has such a seamless transition.
