Hi all,

Just wondering about the xenon shifters and whether you are able to use the button on the inside of the lever whilst on the lower bars, or is it like sora where you cannot physically reach the button ??

thanks

    Completely different position! The buttons much lower than on Sora and can be reached both on the hoods and drops.

    Personally, I think that Shimano deliberately put the thumb shifter in a ridiculous place to try to make people think that thumb shifters were a bad idea!
