Re: [RBW] Thinking of a Riv

Thanks for the info! As for the "great indexing reliability ruse" I am with you 100%. I use down tube shifters, rather than brifter for the reason you stated previously. I have set bike up with 10 speed friction using shimano bar ends and while workable, it was too sensitive for my ham handed

Just a side note - one thing I like about SRAM is that their road and mountain parts play nicely with each other. Bill Stockton, CA On Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 7:38:33 PM UTC-7, Tim Butterfield wrote: > > I've been thinking of getting a Rivendell bicycle for a long time. I > first joined

I like frictioning with 7-speed and highly recommend it. Sunxcd rear derailer, microshift 9- speed fd triple , Silver shifters, XD2 crankset, HG50 7-speed cassette 13-30T, SRAM PC870 chain, 4.5mm spacer for cassette on shimano type freehub on 135mm rear wheel. It is an all silver colored

FWIW, I use a 12-30 Ultegra cassette, 10 Speed, 10 speed indexed Dura Ace down tube shifters and an Ultegra long cage rear derailleur, 6603, with 46/30 chain rings and it all works really well. Also with the Dura Ace 10 speed down tube shifters "not " having a friction mode is not an issue.
