Yep, ditto on my Rektek! :twisted:
From an engineering point of view they aren't a great idea as it's the spring that has to do all the work for downshifts. When the spring weakens the shift suffers. Using it for upshifts where it's less critical is more sensible.
However, rapid rise work very well on drop bar bikes with bar-end shifters. In lower gears the barcon points down and so away from your knees if riding out of the saddle.

Not retro, doesn't matter and you are in the wrong forum section.
You need to be in Off Topic, that's for everything none retro (aka modern)
General & Off Topic Chat
Forum for discussing new school bikes, matters non-retro and anything else you fancy. Keep it clean-ish if possible.
