I run friction on both my bikes - 3x9 and 1x11. I like being able to get things perfectly dialed so my drivetrain is silent. I know you can get that with an indexed system, but it's nice to know I never have to worry about it failing. Once you spend some time with friction you'll be able to shif

Another approach if you use MTB brakes and shifters (i.e. 22.2mm bar diameter) and want to switch between a flat/cruiser type bar and drop bars is to use the Soma Fab Gator Drop Bar. Depending on the other handlebar used there will likely be more cable/housing in one application than needed wh

True, but you can do that with indexed bar end and downtube shifters, too. On 4/10/19 10:23 PM, Teague Scott wrote: I think one of the beauties about friction is the ability to shift multiple cogs in one swift, quiet motion. This can be of huge benefit on the trail, but one needs to maintain

That’s interesting, James. Would you mind going into greater detail about your experiences? What do you mean exactly by them not lasting? Did they fall apart or brake or did the leather deteriorate? Just curious. I’m appreciative of your warning, and would love to hear more before buying one.
