I suppose there is a lot of variation from shifter to shifter. The ones that move a long way are the rapid fire type I think, ie all the way shifts 2 or 3 gears at once.

seems to suggest shimano are better

Bloody cold ride today with snow at the top, only 11 miles but was a good 11 :cool:

Haha, same steve but no snow. I got 17miles under my belt but a good 5 of that was fast woodland single track that I have never been down which was ossum. What wasnt great was the 3 mile long slow incline to the top carpark of the woods  :smiley:

Just a little, about 100 miles. Am south wales by Newport.
You planning a trip?
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Clocked 18.5 miles today on my endomondo app was a bit damp and flew threw some woods only to find crazy puddles like these



That's my brother getting stuck. Good days riding though not looking forward to work tomorrow as my legs are going to be a bit painful.
