Im assuming one can order the rocker lever on its own? Mine is like the one on the bars in the photo. But from what I read its only an option because it confused people that the big lower bit changed into an easier gear and the akward small bit into a bigger. which is backwards to literally everything out there.

But ive been riding bar-end shifters on my gravel bike for a year now with no paddle shifts in sight otherwise so it wasn't that hard to reprogram my brain in that regard.

but i dont see how the new rocker lever will change the fact that it is still just a click activated shift? Anyway, is what it is for now. 

yes you can get it separately, and I meant uts shape might move it slightly more out of the way of you thumb when gripping the bars.

Don’t set up AXS shifters like you would a mechanical unit. It should be further out of your way. The touch is quite light and the new paddle adds a stronger spring to give a more firm feeling to the lever besides the ergonomic improvement

I get this…but another design flaw lol - Its as far as it can be being on a matchmaker. Any further and the brake lever will be too far from optimal. 😅
