Soooo. . . over the weekend i was doing some maintenance on the bike, messing with my adjustable rearset risers (flipped), and spontaneously decided to give gp shifting a shot. rode this morning for the first time, missed one shift (didn't hit it down far enough), but other than that went smooth. i assume because i was super-aware of it on the first day out, maybe after i quit thinking about it i'll screw it up and shift the wrong way.
right now the plan is to leave it gp-style for at least a couple weeks, after that if i hate it i'll change it back. the only real reason for changing it is for making left turns while pulling away from stops. with my lowered rearsets, i couldn't shift until i was through the turn, having to stay in first longer than i really wanted to. i'll update this every so often, maybe you who are thinking about doing this will find it helpfull.
