The number one reason why I don’t ride more in the winter is because I have a problem with keeping my feet warm. The Smartwool, MTB shoes, toe warmers, and crappy Pearl Izumi AmFib shoe covers (Soft Microfleece lining for added warmth my ass) just don’t work.
I have to say I’ve always loved the anatomics of the shifters. They were able to maintain a traditional shifter look and incorporate an albeit bastardized 10 speed ergo shifting system that falls way shy of Shimano’s shifting ability. The lead cable heads on campy shift cables are a mouse whisker smaller than a Shimano one. So if you install a Shimano cable it becomes a permanent part of the $300 shifter. The cable housing is stiff and is meant to run tight to the ergo bars. The cables and housing make sharp turns immediately after leaving the shifter.
