Thanks Joe, that's a good point. I think I'll dig up an old top- normal from the parts bin and give that a try. I love my rapid rise but I believe that top-normal will win this contest!
Question #2: Has anyone set up their thumbies below the bar, in which case, rapid rise might win (ie. pushing with thumb releases cable tension)? Is it possible to set them up below the bar?
