If you are going to be bar end friction shifting I recommend 7- or 8- speed cassettes. Less autoshifting.
I run 7-speed cassettes on both my Rivendells. I went from brifters to bar ends and I loved bar ends at first shift. For some reason I find them more fun to use than brifters. Perhaps it is also the freedom of not having to be tied into a gruppo drivetrain as bar end friction shifting will shift across any cogsets/chainrings. Also, you dont have to set the cable tension up "just so" like you do with brifting setups. Just feels free-er to me. More fun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
