\"SRAM<\/a><\/p>\n

When you think about it, shifting gears on a bike is confusing as heck, levers work differently depending on whether you shifting front chain rings or rear sprockets. That made sense given the mechanical and human constraints. Electronic shifting has removed those limitations yet shift logic remained the same. Until now.<\/p>\n

VeloNews reports on the simple intuitiveness of SRAM\u2019s new eTap shift logic versus traditional shifting:<\/p>\n

Shimano: On the right side, press the bottom paddle for a harder gear and the upper button for an easier gear. On the left side, push the upper button for a harder gear, and the lower paddle for an easier gear.<\/p>\n

SRAM eTap: Press the right button for a harder gear, the left button for an easier gear, and both for a front shift.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
