@AlexJones
Where did you order your groupsets from? I'd like to get my hands on some too.
. Seems like you even can't get the Campag-style release ones anymore. The hydraulic shifters have also been updated so that the thumb lever only shifts one cog at a time.Wow I hate when manufacturers take features away on new versions like that. Kind of takes away the whole appeal of the LTwoo shifters (being Campag style shifting but works with Shimano pull). I wonder if it was due to a patent issue. Better load up on the old version while they're still available, I guess.
I have an older R9 hydraulic set where the thumb lever can do shift multiple gears, but the R9 hydraulic set that I bought recently can only do one at a time.
The logo on the larger shift paddle is different on the two versions.
Maybe there is just a mechanical blockage inside the new style brake levers. Similar to what campy did in Ekar.
I almost doubt they could mount old mechanism inside the new style levers, because the position of the downshift lever is completely different in new vs old.
But if it is the same style thumb shifter as Hydro R9/RX why could you not shift multiple gears at once as Alex Jones mentioned?My guess is they kept the internals of the shifter and just changed the lever design. Probably costed too much to engineer the shifting mechanism into the mechanical mold or maybe it has some patent reason. I was so excited to see them at first thinking I could finally get Campy slam shifting with Shimano hardware on rim brakes (always wanted it ever since I used a Campy shifter). Imagine my surprise when I received them, and they would only do 1 shift into the harder gear
