I've found friction shifting 10 as easy and precise with the right setups
as friction shifting 7 or 8, if not easier and more precise.
My experience bears on a very particular setup for 10, though: cogs more or
less in series, Suntour barcons (versus at least Silver 1s), short cage (8
sp) rd,
Doug, I use Silver 2 shifters with 9-speed Rapid Rise RDs. The cable pull
length/ratio changes when I pull to the smallest cogs. From the largest
gear to, say, the fifth cog down, the cable pull amount is about the same
from gear to gear. Going further down the sprocket definitely requires more
Hello Doug,
Friction shifting (dt and bar end) has been my only method of changing gears
with 7 and 8 speed cogs on my three bikes for so long that it feels natural and
intuitive. I guess if I had more variety in my bikes/ drivetrains i.e. 9-11
cogs, index shifting my experience might be
Thank you Rich. The description of shifting on Rivendell's website makes
sense to me and I don't think I need a 9 speed cassette as I don't shift
often to maintain a certain cadence. The one thing I'm still getting used
to with friction shifting is that not every gear change requires as equal
Hi Doug!
As a fellow Dylan fan I offer my congratulations. I just installed a Jim 7
speed cassette; I'm very pleased. I hope your setup works as well too.
Best,
Rich in ATL

Indeed! That was a nice little surprise. I honestly thought maybe I hadn’t quite followed the contest directions to a “t”.I purchased some Nitto stuff; some bar plugs, and a lamp holder for my Edelux light I purchased from a fellow forum member.On Sep 21, 2022, at 8:30 PM, Joe Bernard wrote:I
