Anyone have any experience with bar end shifters, kelly take offs or those retroshift things in race situations?
Running a typical 10 speed drive train this year has proved costly and unreliable without a pit bike. I run 8 speed on my road bike (down-tube shifters) and my cross check (bar-end shifters) and can deal with gaps in the cassette okay, it's just the shifting which concerns me.
