One common bit of advice is to do away with the floating upper pulley. Many swap them (saves buying a new set of pulleys). I haven't tried this myself. What I did that worked for me was to stop friction shifting Hyperglide 8 and switch the shifters onto a 7spd Hyperglide bike. That works well for me. The gears seem farther apart, giving me more room for adjustment. Jan Heine seems to be of the opinion that friction shifting Hyperglide works much better with Campagnolo rear derailleurs than Shimano. While I don't dispute his observation, I believe the only differences between them can be the floating pulley, not present on the Campagnolo, and possibly the two may move different amounts for a given amount of lever travel; I can see how that might make it feel different and possibly make it easier to shift cleanly. It wouldn't take much, since 7 and 8 spd aren't spaced all that differently, but to me they feel much different. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
