6.1.1.1. Push-Button Shifters
Shifters in form of push-button shifters work in different ways. With
most of them pressing the large shifter moves the chain to the larger
chainrings. The small shifter located in front of the handlebars, from
the rider’s viewpoint, moves the chain towards the smaller chainrings.
This means that any gear shift made by pushing the large thumb shifter
on the right produces a lower gear, while pressing the large thumb shift-
er on the left moves the chain to the larger chainring, thus producing a
higher gear.
With the Shimano inverse technology, used mainly on mountain bikes,
this gear shift pattern for the rear derailleur of the Rapidfire finger
shifter lever can be inversed and actuating the right thumb push-button
shifts on a small sprocket with a heavier gear ratio.
The Shimano Rapidfire Plus shifters work according to the usual Rapid-
fire principle (see above), they offer however the possibility to operate
the front “index finger lever” with the thumb initiating the same gear
shifting action as with the index finger operation. The chain moves to
the small chainring or small sprockets. You can therefore shift either
with the thumb and the index finger or only with the thumb.
In addition, you can shift through several gears with one lever move-
ment, i.e. a short lever movement shifts from one gear to the next gear,
whereas a longer lever travel shifts over the next two gears.
