My new (used) Riv came with STI shifters, and after about a week I decided to heck with that ! ... so now it has old-fashioned RetroGrouch non-indexed barcons. I think V. and I are the only ones here that use those
trekin', did you read the article that Mellissa linked in the message above? It makes a lot of sense - I may have stuck with the STIs had I read that ... well, no, to be honest I would have probably still gotten rid of them because I thought the big clunky STI levers were uuugly as sin and just didn't look right.
And I don't mean to sound argumentative, but once it's been determined that your set up is correct, you will have to get used to it - no matter what shifting system you use. It just takes practice, and soon it will be second nature.
