I like sti shifters and past experience with bar end shifting has not got me completely sold . My main race this year will be IMC which, as most of you know, has some significant climbs and typically I am on the hoods or top of the road bars while climbing. I am about to buy new aerobars and I was thinking of switching out my road bars for a nice new base bar as well.
My question is, will sticking with sti shifters on a fairly flat base bar negate any aerodynamic benefits I get from going to this new front end. Will it be dificult to shift? Or should I go with bar end shifting and just get used to it.
Thanks in advance!
