1x11s or 1x12s THUMB SHIFTER

INTUITIVE SHIFTING WITH JUST ONE FINGER

Analogical vs digital, analogical but digital.

Anological from latin analogicus “of grammatical analogy” (borrowed from greek analogikós) based on mathematical ratios, of analogy in grammar, from “analogía”, proportion, from “analog”, similar, then intuitive.

You will move the lever forward to up-shift the derailleur. You will move back the lever in an intuitive way to down-shift. It’s analogical.

Do you remember the late 80’s shifters? they were intuitive. Such as the downtube levers.

But if you introduce a ratchet it may become more “digitally precise”, from latin digitālis “measuring a finger’s breadth,” from digitus “finger, toe, finger’s breadth as a measure” + -ālis. The zero and the one, you know…

And, yes it’s wired, so, you’ll must use your thumb, actuated by your muscles. Sorry.
