one other note which may bear here: friction shifters will jump cogs (in the direction of spring tension - normal to the smaller gears, rapid rise the reverse) if the tension in the shifter lever screw is too loose. It bears checking when you eyeball your chain. When my Saluki started to mystery shift from any big gear down to a middle one, I knew right away what the culprit was.
On the 7 & 8 speed thread: With a freewheel, I can swap any number of gears that will fit and of course, need no spacer. I have a 6 and a 7 speed currently in use. Like them both. ________________________________ From: William <[email protected]> To: RBW Owners Bunch <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, October 29, 2010 7:07:15 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: More on 7 speed...plus Bleriot finally finished My buddy Doug bought a complete bike A.H.H. off the floor at Riv HQ. His rear cassette had two problem gears that bugged him to distraction. I rode behind him on an S24O and it was obviously not right. He'd shift perfectly into the 3rd cog, and as soon as he put some real pressure on the thing, it would pop out. Only on two cogs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
