  1. Only about 100 miles on my new DA/9, finding that more often than not I'm shifting 2 gears per shift when going hard, gentle as I try to be.

    Previous experience limited to 105's.

    Probably user error but wanted to make sure that its just a matter of learning to be more sensitive when shifting rather than misadjusted equipment.

    Thanks and sorry for such a basic question.

    If it clicks once and shifts 2 it adjustment.

    It is a matter of how far through the total available arc you move lever A. You can shift down 1, 2, or 3 cogs in a shift.
    See the illustration that came with your shifter instructions or look at the Shimano site URL:

  4. Thanks, I was aware of the 1/2/3 yet it somehow feels overly happy in the DA...

    I probably just need to learn to have a lighter hand.
