Seems like a valid option since the road groups basically use that concept
i agree. Not sure why they tried to fix something that was not broken.
with all the complaining about the lever done, I should say the actual shifting is perfect.
You can adjust each shift (if you even need to) so it never over or under shifts on any gear.
It’s great when drop down a hill and just tap 4 or 5 times to get in a high gear.
Or vice versa and you are heading up a hill, you tap as many times as you need to get in a low gear and it’s pretty much instantaneous.
These are the situations where you appreciate AXS the most. That and the install which takes 5 minutes.
