I think winter biking is the killer app for grip shift. When you loose all the feeling in your fingers, triggers are useless. Grip shift will keep working till your hands fall off. Even in August I was reminded of this just the other day when I got caught in a hail storm at 10,000 feet and the temperature dropped 30 degrees to 42 F. I'd neglected to bring my shell gloves, but was able to ride out after sheltering for an hour in some old mine ruins.
