After literally years of dealing with this annoyance I bought a derailleur
alignment tool and found that my hanger was pretty bent (about the axis
perpendicular to the ground, which is why I couldn't see it when looking at
it from behind the bike). I re-alligned, and things have been magic ever

my buddy had a ghost shift on his Mercian - always shifted to harder gear
when he loading it down. Of course the bike has thin, somewhat flexible
stays. He solved it by lengthening the rear housing on his derailleur
cable.

Since no one has mentioned it, have you tried loosening the B-screw on the
rear derailleur? Loosening the B-screw moves the derailleur arm forward,
which lets the chain wrap more around your cogs.
Messing with the B-screw on friction drivetrains has gotten me extra life
out of some really

Have you tried the pulley swap on the derailure? It's brilliant. Puts the
pulley with less wiggle on the top and that works far better for friction
shifting. Solved my ghost shifting with 8 and 9 speed cassettes.
With abandon,

My 61cm Toyo Atlantis will ghost shift, but I always assumed that it was my

up the Shimano bar-end shifters just in case that was the problem, but it
will still ghost shift now and then. I just correct it and keep on
