Re: [RBW] Play & Slipping with Silver Bar End Shifters

[Sam Perez]

I had a similar post. For me I tried so many things , I changed the
cassette and chain to eliminate warn variables. I was using a 9s xt deor
rear dr that I suspect adds to it also I'd check frame alignment. Those
helped although I still experience the occasional ghost shift. Latest
theory is perhaps some rd's have a really tight spring but that somthing I
don't know how to test myself.

[RBW] Play & Slipping with Silver Bar End Shifters

[Den John]

Hello RBWers,

I've been having problems with a set of older type RBW Silver bar end 
shifters. 
There seems to be a lot of play in the shifters. They've been like this out 
of the box.
They also slip a  bit in the middle sprockets, ghost shifting from the 
bigger to smaller
sprocket. Tightening the bolt that holds the shifter lever doesn't make 
much difference,
even with the bolt done up pretty tight the play and slipping seem to 
persist. 

It seems this is a bit of a known problem with these shifters. Does anyone 
have any suggestions for a remedy for this? E.g. is it possible to add an 
additional washer somewhere?

Thanks for any help,

Johnny in Belgium
