I agree with Michael -- Now that I'm in friction mode, my shifts are faster, sure, and QUIET! I also do not have a problem shifting up or down while riding grades. Believe me, I live and ride in San Francisco, and I ride some sort of grade or hill or even mountain 70-80% of the time. I love the friction mode, and don't have some of these problems others are referring to. For clarification, the Romulus is the one I am referring to with Bar-ends in friction mode. My Atlantis has the silver DT shifters, also in friction. The trouble I was having was on the Rom.
Thank you everyone for these responses. I'm learning a lot. I had never before heard the term "hyper-glide." I keep on learning… Ray --- On Mon, 12/1/08, MichaelH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: MichaelH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [RBW] Re: Shifter Observation for all of you Techies To: "RBW Owners Bunch" <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 3:31 PM I rarely get a ghost shift on my Ram, with slver dt shifters and an ultegra hg casette.; but I do get it on my Ebisu with silver bar ends and the same hg casette. I would dispute those who claim index shifting is faster. With contemporary cogs I rarely miss a shift, and I can throw the chain across the entire range with one quick move, which you can't do with sis. michael On Dec 1, 5:54 pm, Steve Palincsar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 2008-12-01 at 14:44 -0800, George Schick wrote: > > " ...
