To upshift the pull of cable tension is coverted to a push by the lever arm. To downshift the spring pushes the mechanism back down.

Note that this makes the spring a “Push Battery”. It stores the push of the upshift to push the chain back down.

…ut yes, people are not fond of the seat tube junction weld, which I understand. That TT is incredibly thin walled- it’s a pretty outrageously awesome tubeset. I reckon the frame cost is twice that of an Allez and maybe 3x that of a Domane ALR (cheap bike that plays cheap tricks to look fancy, and does it well). Alas, joke is on us because some people don’t even throw a leg over it because of a weld.

does it squish?

I’m gonna stop you right there

Your bikes suck and our team of experts will continue to work around the clock to prove it

So, the only mechanical interface with the rider that pushes on a bike is the cranks? Or is that actually pulling the chain? I feel like we’ve lapsed into philosophy rather than physics.
Please continue. Unless someone actually posts bikes.

Well we all know that “pulling up” is a myth except for sick skidz.

[oogens]

How about pulling out?

[EndpointBraden]

Even less effective?

[anon24974279]

Hey the pull out method is like 82% effective

[euclid]

It’s mid 90s with correct use (big caveat)

[Greengage]

You had a different mid 90’s than I did.

Now that’s the kind of pullout method that is effective.
