Hi -
My first really nice bike had sew-up [now usually referred to as tubular]
tires. This was back in the day (mid '70s) of 27" wheels, full campy
grouppo, etc. I recall two things about sew-ups/tubulars:
1) The ride was incredible. Very smooth. Seemed to glide over the pavement.
All this
tip of the iceberg...probably juggled 25 emails today for parts and a
frame. Need a respite
Thanks again Philip!!!

Hmm, you must not have 9-speed Shimano bar-ends then, maybe it's 8 and that's
why you're not using the clicky side. In that case you need 9-speed but not
Advent. You can get Shimano 9 bar-ends, or this Microshift (NOT Advent).
Be aware that both are technically for Shimano road and I've only

Aside from any other compatibility issues - I believe an Advent shifter only
clicks an Advent derailer - a different bar-end is not likely to solve your
problem with getting into the largest cassette cog. Something else is
preventing your derailer from wanting to make that stretch.

I suspect that you do need a longer chain. Like I said, I've been wrestling

It's a SteerStopper. It is a not inexpensive way to hold the front wheel
in place. I find it especially useful when loading my bike onto my roof
