Thank you all, this is really helpful. Jim, of course! I forgot about Sheldon, to whom I used to look to for all information. Thank you.
Including the tire makes sense, though I don't think I'm a conscious enough rider to feel the difference in ratio if I'm riding 32 or 35, but why not be accurate to start. Steve, thanks for the in depth response. My ghost shifting is under weight, and given that I weight 230, it happens a lot. My inherited cassette now has an additional 2000 or so miles on it, and I've been meaning to get a new wheel, so have delayed replacing the cassette until then. I kind of forgot about how old it is. I use Silver 1 friction shifters, but I also friction shift on my cheviot (9 speed) and it's flawless. The rear der. is set up properly as far as I can tell...I wonder if given how much I may flex the bike, indexed would be better. I'm going to look into an indexed downtube shifter for the rear (front is fine friction). Thank you all again, I'm going to comb through your suggestions a few times as i figure this out.
