I tell ya what, I LOVE being able to just shift all the gears on my bike with the bar-end shifters It's so nice to get to the top of a climb, slap my hand down, and instantly be in the gear I need for the downhill. It can be pretty startling to accidentally miss one on the way back to easy though. Tough to shift delicately when you're on a trail full of rocks. I guess every system has its trade-offs.
