I went through the same thing with front derailleurs, when I switched from backwards-acting Sun Tour Compe V to conventional-acting front derailleurs. I switched the fleet all at the same time. It was a rough transition, but eventually the old training died out. I make a "wrong way" mistake or have a "moment of confusion" about once every five to ten years now. About the only way you can live with a mix of normal and backwards-acting derailleurs is if the controls are completely different. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
