I struggled with the timing of it for a while. Blippings is habbit for me, but I have an old bike, no slipper clutch. I was breaking and downshifting at the same time last year and that had me all fuggered up. Concentrating on the shifting rather than the breaking is helping me not spaz so much and overbreak everything. I did move my levers in at the perch. My ergos on the bike are horrible though. First funding available, im going for a set of decent clip-ons.
