TT shifters and road shifters are two COMPLETELY different animals...
Anyone use Microshift
Seems like some of the pros are using the much maligned Microshift: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cofidis-time-trials-on-microshift
How bad can they be if pros are using them? Any thoughts?

Not really.cs1 said:True but the team is also using a Microshift rear derailleur, which is a key piece of equipment.
I can use a deore rear derailleur on a 10 7800 series shifter, and it will work perfectly. However, using a top end derailleur on garbage shifters will still result in garbage shifting.
Microshift road shifters, as the poster above states, are garbage.
AllezCat said:I have not ridden on a bike with microshifters other than around the bike shop that I work in. In that brief period of time I found the shifters to be too stiff, clunky and they did not "feel right" On the other hand I have been riding Shimano STI for several years in several forms and found that even Tiagra and Sora "feel better" and operate better than the microshift. I have not ridden SRAM road groups for an extended period of time but the experience I have with them has been positive.
To agree bluntly...microshift road shifters are garbage and I dread having to work with them.

Shifters are NOT a place to try to be different. SRAM, Shimano, Campy. Pick one of those and only those.
