Jay, you need a barcon which matches the Exact Actuation pull ratio of SRAM road derailleurs. SRAM makes one for tri bikes.
https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/sl-500-aero-a2 I assume Microshift makes one also but all I could find was stuff matched to mountain X-Actuation derailleurs. I have a Microshift thumby (index/friction, Exact Actuation) shifting a Rival 1. Joe Bernard On Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 5:05:41 PM UTC-7 Jay wrote: > A question for you, Bill.
