Are you using hyper-glide cassettes? Or the previous uni-glide (unramped, twist tooth)? And does the ghost shifting happen on the 7 sp or 8 sp?
One trick I've used to decrease the sensitivity of 8 sp HG is to use 7 sp spacers between offending cogs. With ghost shifting, I've noticed it's usually isolated to only a single pair of cogs on any given cassette. dougP -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of 42MuskhamSt Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 11:11 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Freewheel hub with 135 spacing? I can't say that this is my experience. My bikes are 8 speed and 7 speed respectively. They can run index or friction (Shimano bar end shifters (old style LX rd's)) and I have to say that friction shifting is smooth. Both are cassette hubs. The only issue I have on one bike (non-Riv) is that the frame has a bit of flex to it, which can cause ghost shifting. On that bike, I use the index mode and wards off the ghosties.
