Mostly all it takes to get indexing working perfectly again is 1/4 turn

It never turns out to be that simple for me. I recently had to adjust
the Shimano BE indexing on my new tandem. It would either not shift
smoothly in the 1-2 position, or the 8-9 position. It took an hour
and a half of fiddling to finally get everything right. One issue,

One of the most liberating feelings ever was when I internalized how

I don't have any problems setting up derailleurs and friction systems,
just the indexing. Steve's remark about turning into the direction
that is not working is helpful. I can probably even remember that.

If you follow the Park directions step by step, it's hard to go wrong.

For some reason, when I am on the road I am far more likely to get it

On Thu,
I would think a tandem with those lng cables could be a little

I'm sure it does, sir. My point is it may take a little more fiddling
to keep that way if you're not a 'constant index fiddler', which I

I inquired about getting Silver shifters with Paul Thumbies less than
two months ago and was told it was a less-than-desirable combination,
so I had my Hillborne set up with Shimanos instead. Not clear on
exactly what changed, but really no complaints about the Shimanos,
either. I rode them for
