The cable is routed correctly I think. Here’s a link to Shimano’s technical instructions for the derailleur: http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/SI_5W50A_001/SI_5W50A_001_En_v1_m56577569830616237.pdf I’ve followed the instructions and secured the cable in the groove as

. So basicly the problem is that on the largest cogs I’d need more slack on the cable and on the smallest cogs I’d need more tension on the cable. Any more ideas? Juhani -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group

Yes, it’s frustrating because I’ve only heard good things about this combination, but for some reason I can’t get it right. My rear cassette has 9 cogs for sure. And even if it didn’t, my Dura Ace shifters has written on them: “Compatible with RD-7700(9s) RD-7400(8s)”. So it should work even

I mixed things a bit in my answer about the torque. The bar-end shifter pods are torqued without tool, but I think they are just right - around 7Nm. They seem very sturdy. The screw that goes through the middle of the shift lever is tightened with a high quality torque tool to recommended 2,5Nm -

I’ve some difficulties with friction shifting with my Dia Compe bar end “Silver Shifters”. They work fine when I’ve my bike in repair stand and also when riding on flat or downhill, but when climbing uphill, especially with some load and on steeper hill, the rear cogs really make noise when
