I don't know, I never bonded with 26" wheels, my AR was never a favorite but it was nice just never a first choice.
I actually have an extra rear build up with a FW (which brings up the other issue, do I want to go cassette, but I see no real reason too). Also, any thumb shifters are out as I have basal joint arthritis, had 2 surgeries on the right, the last one is not helping too much, had the other two surgeries in 2009 and both failed within 5 years. So bar ends are good for me, friction is fine, I have no real issue with index if I was to go to 8 or 9 speed which maybe is a consideration and then leave me with a double instead of a triple. I have a few parts at home as I sold most on these sites when I had lost most of my hope of riding again but parts are always going to be available, I just may have to change some of my wants. I did not know you can use sidepulls with the Atlantas but from reading it seems you can use these or Cantis. For $100 more I can get, if I decide on the Atlantis the current geometry which may suit me better. I will call and try to get Mark tomorrow as Mark has always been a great asset.
