![]() That hasn’t really changed – they’re still very close together and not easily felt through thick gloves – but, like anything, you get used to it. Shimano has long been criticised for its comparatively undifferentiated Di2 shift buttons. However, unlike the mechanical levers, the brake lever doesn’t move sideways to shift – braking and changing gear are completely separate. Shimano’s default Di2 shifting arrangement mimics mechanical shifting in that there are separate buttons on each lever for upshifts and downshifts. It’s a system that’s very easy to explain to the uninitiated, even more so if you activate sequential shifting (explained below), as that means you don’t have to think about front shifting at all. eTap is visually similar, but the paddles are simple switches, with the default arrangement being: right paddle for rear derailleur upshifts left paddle for rear derailleur downshifts both paddles simultaneously for front derailleur shifts. ![]() SRAM’s mechanical groupsets use DoubleTap, a system that relies on two-stage paddles mounted behind the brake levers. ![]() A button on the inside of each shift paddle is used during setup, while an LED is used as a battery indicator.
