[RBW] Re: Friction down tube shifters

Paul, made me check. My Chorus DT shifter covers 150-degrees over the width of a Record 8sp cassette, 130mm OLD. Should be the same pull to cover a 10s, but not sure about Shimano vs. Campy pull distance. As far as sensitivity, it shifts better than anybody's index - picking the next gear is

Thanks for that. I will look into those as well. I am currently researching info to see if old Campagnolo DT shifters will work. I'm getting mixed info. Those Dia Compe's look pretty cool, too. On Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at 8:54:48 AM UTC-6, eddietheflay wrote: > > not a ton of time on the

My Dia Compe ones are mounted on barcon pods and I am shifting a 10 speed cassette. It works smoothly but the arc of the lever is really significant. I would guess with my challenged thumbs it is a bigger deal and I can imagine if I used the shifter on the downtube then that action would be muc

Silver/old-Suntour internals, but I seem to recall a convo stating the Dia-Compes have a bigger barrel to work better with 10-speed cassettes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receivin

Matching cable pull is everything. The very best I have with long cable pull are Campy Chorus. The best I have with short cable pull are Campy Victory -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and sto

Another vote for the Dura-Ace 7700 DT shifters. You'll be pretty lucky to find a pair at a reasonable price, though. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, sen
