Ok, this is a bit off topic, my apologies, but I am perplexed. I run 9 speed silver friction shifter on all of my bikes except the tandem, which has Shimano bar ends. I usually run it in friction, mostly because I don't have regular experience with indexing and when they need adjustment, I struggle until I say, oh the hell with it. But I have been trying to get this indexing right because I am thinking I want to try 10 speed on this bike. So here's what's happening.
I can lift the chain from the outside 11 to the inside 28 in consistent steps, but when I try to drop the chain it hangs up for an extra click right at the start and then jumps across the 12 to the 11 at the end. Occasionally, it will jump from the 9 to the 7 position on the second click. Everything works OK in friction mode, although the 9 to 8 did seem a bit wider, so I tightened the low set screw until the chain would just barely reach, then backed it out a couple of degrees. This made no difference. It just occurred to me that I have not measured the chain, but it's hard to see how that could cause this behavior. Any thoughts? Hot, even in VT.
