I'd have to agree with Jim on this one. I have 7,8,9 speeds that I shift with friction (I happen to like it that way) and I wouldn't change my 9 speed setup for a 7 or 8, nor would I upgrade the other two for a nine just for the sake of change.I'm more of the type ..when something works fine I leave it alone because I'm also the type that can over think it and screw it up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
