I have now been using Ergo shifters for about a month. When I am faced with a sudden gear change, I still get confused about which levers go which way. It was the same with the gripshift system, and with thumb shifters, it never quite becomes automatic, I have to think about it, then it's too late, or I go the wrong way.
I think my problem may arise from the way the same action with the right and left levers has the opposite result. On the right hand, pushing the lever under the brake lever makes pedalling easier. On the left hand, the same action makes pedalling harder.
Does it have to be that way? Could the shifters be adapted so that the brake lever shifter made pedalling easier on both the front and rear derailleur?
Does anybody else have this problem? Does anybody have a solution, some mental trick that would get this apparently simple procedure into my head?
