Thanks, Jeffrey, good to know. I'm 98/100 happy with 10 cogs in back, but
it would be nice to have a 13 in front of the present small 14 cog, so I'll
keep that in mind.

Patrick,
We (wife and me) have been friction shifting for oh, maybe 10 years now.
Mostly 9 speed because it works wonderfullywe just got rando-type bikes and
went to the dark side (11 speed drivetrain). To be fair, both bikes came stock
with 11 speed. We did appreciate the dual-control
9+10 were autoshifty for me in friction.
7+8 are great!

GE: what shifters did you use for the 11? One day I'll try 11, but I know
modern BES pull much less cable per unit of angular movement of lever than
modern ones, eg the Silvers. I can sweep all 10 cogs with less than 90* of

I had a bar-end, 11-speed, friction shifting set up for a time and it
wasn't bad. I ended up not keeping the bike (not because of the shifting,
but due to overlap with other bikes), but I'd do it again on a bike, if it

Speaking of 'many-cogs," does anyone shift 11 in friction? 12? How do you
find it?
Patrick Moore, who finds shifting 10 with Bar Cons quite easy.

SunRace also has a 12 speed drivetrain gruppo. Cranks, Shifter, Chain,
Derailleur and Cassette.

Grant’s not the only one! I’ve slowly drifted from 7 to 8 to 9 and now 10-seed
cassettes. To be fair, I think the early N+1 speed systems really were a lot
worse for practical riding. They always seem to start out less reliable, less
inter-compatible and much more expensive. Then the
Bought a park chain whip today. Package states can be used for 12 speed...

Agreed, 10 seems like the a great choice for 1x's right now. 11 and 12
speed are more expensive and possibly less reliable, and almost certainly
are going to continue to be moving targets. 8 and 9 speed are simple and
will be around forever, but the mechs are not really designed for

My 1x8 11-40 works well.
I own a 12sp Sunrace cassette that I impulse bought and regret. I would sell it.
1x10 is a sweet spot I think in terms of gear spacing. 2x10 really allows a
wealth of gears that may almost be too rich. It has me reconsidering 2x8.

I saw that SRAM has 11sp bar end shifters.
Kind of attracted to them, for my upcoming Fitz. Torn between black and red
pseudo modern parts and timeless 9sp Silver/gray DuraAce and XTR. I’ve got some
of each, and they’d both look great in the planned bike.
On topic: yeah, I ain’t getting a

my 10 speed cassette.
But the person who reviewed the 13 setup is an idiot:
