[RBW] Re: Friction 9 V 10 speed

What makes friction work for me isn't only about holding the derailleur position, ie: not having frame flex produce cable pull or the lever slip, but rather the tactile ability to quickly and accurately move to the next cog without need to trim. If the feedback required to do that is only sound

[RBW] Re: Friction 9 V 10 speed

I’ve tried 8,9,10 speeds with friction shifting. 10 speed, nope. 9 was ok But settled on 8-speed for pretty much all friction shift bikes. On Monday, April 15, 2024 at 7:27:21 PM UTC-6 ber...@bernardduhon.com wrote: > I have been friction shifting my 10 speed campy set up. 11-26 X 44-28 > Cra

The fact that the "Friction vs Indexed" conversation has persisted for over 30 years now is testimony that both have their merits. - My Rivendell with a 3x8 drivetrain and Silver 2 thumb shifters is, of course, in friction mode (as was my 1970 ten speed Schwinn and my mid 70's Raleigh). I like

I'd like to throw in a vote for the Bruce Gordon rock 'n road tires, 700x 43. I have those on my Sam, under fenders, and they're great. I like the way they corner better than the UD Rosé's squishy triangle knobs. On Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 7:37:39 AM UTC-7 josh.yo...@gmail.com wrote: > I

Re: [RBW] Re: Friction 9 V 10 speed

FWIW, I read a few years ago that using a chain 1 generation more advanced than one's cassette improved shifting because the later and narrower chain avoids rubbing on adjacent cogs a wee but noticeable bit better than the earlier chain. I've been using 11 sp chains on my 10 sp cassettes, and while

Re: [RBW] Re: Friction 9 V 10 speed

OTOH: I recall a practically new Schwinn Collegiate bought at Goodwill that had a 5 speed square-tooth wide range freewheel shifted by a second-gen Alvit rear derailleur pulled by a massive, chromed steel lever clamped to the stem quill; possibly Suntour ratcheting? I don't recall. At any rate, I

Anyone have opinions/real world experience with the Nitto/Riv Bullmoose bars? I've been thinking of putting them on my old Toyo Atlantis since they came out. I'm a pretty broad shouldered 6'2" so the width would likely work for me. Mostly curious about the reach, how high they can get, & if they

I have a pair that i used to have on my appaloosa. I’m around 6’1-2” and i really like the width and sweep. On my ‘21 appaloosa the reach was good, some might consider it too long. i think itd probably be nice on an older atlantis, just assuming that it would have a shorter top tube. very solid
