I will certainly try tightening down the screws on my shifters. Since they gave me problems from day one, I didn't figure they were loose, but anything can happen, I guess. I cut my teeth on friction shifting, but only five cog freewheels. Then there was the hiatus when I was riding indexed shifting. Generally, I prefer manual over automatic, so I was glad to get back into friction shifting with the Clem. I figured the problem I was having was due to degraded technique from 'the hiatus,' and the fact that there were three more cogs shimmied into the rear cluster. A recipe for a real fuster cluck if ever there was one. So I'll tighten down the shifter bolt, and maybe try the barrel adjuster to account for the fact that the cables are new and stretchy. If that doesn't work, there is at least one derailer in the parts bin that could get swapped in, and if that doesn't work, maybe those new Silver Shifters, V2 will be showing up soon. I don't like to blame the equipment, but since others report the same problem, maybe it's not all me, either.
