Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Shifter 2 project revived

Campagnolo did something similar with the first version of their indexed shifting. It was a disaster. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to stock all of those small parts—hard enough to get shops to sell friction levers! Another idea—also probably not viable—would be for Grant/Someone to buy up all
