switching to campy- shifting

[Zen]

Just want to make sure that you know that with Shimano, to get into the big ring, you shift and then shift again. Not sure what it is called(blonde moment here) but it needs that first tap to set it up to shift.

No I didn't know that!
Kind of like the ratcheting system on Campy shifters but not quite...
Why didn't my LBS guy tell me this-two different shops as a matter of fact.

My guy told me I had to be pedaling at a high enough cadence to catch the ramps. Research on the Shimano site says the ramps and pins are place to be used at the point of least pressure applied to the pedals.

Hmmm.

How is the word "trim' used in a sentence?

As for the teflon cables mentioned earlier, I was told they were used mainly on mountain bikes to keep dirt off and that the teflon coating tended to wear away.
