Reason for gearshifters this year?

[F22Rapture]

I would say that if your team wants to try to climb the pyramid, they aren't worth it. Every pound is going to count if you want to get off the ground, and I just can't see enough benefit of using shifters this year to warrant it.

**That said, they probably aren't going to get much cheaper, so if you don't have any go ahead and buy them so you can start experimenting later on.

Can any teams comment on the actual weight difference between the Super Shifter and/or Ball Shifter and the kop gearbox? They don't seem to list the weight of those items on Andymark.
