This is the part where I annoy everybody..I dislike those shifters. 9-speed
Shimano uses clicks in the back that work great (plus friction option), and
the front friction shifter doesn't loosen up. Easy!

My shifters only tend to loosen with large shifts in climates, usually
from humid to dry and hot to cold. Rather than trying to tighten it where
it is, I simply don't pedal, then I loosen/release the tension of the
D-ring totally and gently snug it up from fresh from there.

Back in the day when everything was friction shifting, you could tell if your
frame had more than normal flex in it because the D-rings would need to be
snugged down more frequently as the frame tugged at the cables.
As others have said, most friction systems are set-and-forget. You’ll know if
Hi everyone,
I am enjoying my brand spanking new Joe Appaloosa built up by Rivendell.
Had it for about 6 weeks or so, I have put maybe 75 miles or so on it, most
of them from the Nutmeg Nor'easter ride a couple of weekends ago, which was
a wonderful 40 mile ride, Joe's maiden voyage I'd say.
