I've been using this same set up and it's totally fine. On Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 9:08:35 AM UTC-8 Adam Bowen wrote: > I am currently running a friction 12speed set up with a microshift bar end > and GX Eagle derailer/cassette. I have been pleased with how well it works > > On

Good to hear. I'm currently setting up a bike with your same set-up. I've been rocking 10 speed friction for a year, so why not try 12 speed? On Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 9:08:35 AM UTC-8 Adam Bowen wrote: > I am currently running a friction 12speed set up with a microshift bar end > and

This is very good to know. I don't expect that I will want to go beyond 10 -- when I decided to convert from friction 9 to friction 10, I thought I was being daringly cutting edge -- but it's good to know that there remain further possibilities, if and when. On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 10:08 AM Adam

Thank you Sam for this post. This is currently on my mind. My friends insisted on a clutch derailer, and then, better than insisting, a friend gave me one (I reciprocated to make it a trade :) So I've been internally himming and hawing over what shifter to run on my Shimano 11 speed clutch

I’ve been using 1x11 for a while, in both friction and indexed. I use an appropriate Microshift lever with a Shimano SLX clutch derailleur, and it works flawlessly. I started it out as a bar-end, but now have it on a hydraulic Gevenalle setup. On Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 1:24:37 AM UTC-5

Adding my tiny clamor to the general hubub (not Hubbuhubbuh): I've done this for years with 7, 8, 9, and 10 speed cassettes. Currently I shift a 1X10 (with granny bailout) using Suntour bar cons and a 7 or 8 speed rd (Dura Ace 7401), and it works surprisingly well despite the shifter and

Yes, of course it will work. I have a friction 9 speed set up on my Rivendell and, yes, it is a little fussy, but it works incredibly smoothly and I have a clutch derailleur. I use the Silver1 shifter because it's longer and therefore slightly more precise IMHO. On my other bike, I have a

Friction shifting 11 speeds is easier than friction on 9. Shifting isn’t fussy at all. I have a silver downtube shifter. The throw of the shifter is maxed out - it’s parallel to the down tube at each end of the throw, but that’s fine. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Saturday, January 9, 2021 at

I run a box components 9 speed wide range cassette 1x and have experienced no issues or any desire to run a larger cassette. I have used microshift , dura ace and sunrace shifters. I have recently switched to indexed shifting and am not sure I will be going back to friction any time soon.
