[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Hi Vincent, That Clem is beautiful, but your shifting issue sounds frustrating. Are you running a 9-speed cassette in the back? I had the indexing Sunrace thumbie on my Rivendell and performance felt just ok. My vintage Suntour thumb shifters from 1983 were better, and now I have a Riv silver

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Sounds like an issue my wife had about a year ago. We tried a lot of random ideas, like snugging up the cassette lockring (on the theory that the cogs were loose and wobbling a bit). In the end, a new chain made the shifting work perfectly again. Good luck. -Wes On Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at

Re: [RBW] Revisiting the Nitto 52f Basket Rack

I think the front end will feel a little less unwieldy with the smaller wheels, even if the technical wheel flop doesn't reflect this. but if it's a concern, my vote is to sell the rack and buy something that is only as big and heavy as you need it to be! The Simworks Obento is a wonderful

Re: [RBW] Re: Major v brake adjustment

I feel like there can be some convenient use of da vinchi splitters on the segments where the cable is exposed. Not sure how practical it will be, but I usually undo the cable splitters on my coupled bikes to take my wheel on and off, instead of tweaking with brakes and tire pressure. On

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

I'd have someone check the derailleur hanger adjustment. How many miles are you getting on each cassette? How about chains? Smallest cogs will wear the fastest. If you are riding a lot on the big ring and the smallest cogs, maybe get a bigger big ring that will put your usual pedaling in

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Thank you guys. The suntour shifters don't bug me so much as I may have made it out in the initial post. I was just not sure if they were causing this wear on the rear cassette or not. I only have a double crank and rarely cross chain. Usually I'm on the largest toothed chainring on the front

[RBW] Re: Major v brake adjustment

I feel ya on that one, Bernard. I too have a couple of wheelsets for my 26" Atlantis and there's two different sets of tires I enjoy running on that bike. Rims are different widths of course so it's a question of, which is the least amount of hassle: swapping out tires on the one wheelset, or

I'm not sure I would agree that they "force indexing". I've used them on my Clem for awhile now and while its weird it works with no issues. At least I personally have not had issues and it sounds like Grant has been issue free with more miles than me. I do agree that Riv's details do make it

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Additionally, if you're riding in the small/inner ring and smallest 2-3 cogs, don't ! Even the middle isn't optimal with a 11t/12t/13t, but without an outer ring, you have no other option. Yeah I do remember when those Sunrace came out the confusing description of them, and it's still clear

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Those SunRace shifters force indexing that doesn't line up with all the cogs. Technically you can trim them to work as a friction shifter but it'll drive you crazy, you need Silver thumbies. On Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at 8:40:52 PM UTC-7 Vincent Tamer wrote: > I have an on going issue with

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting Issues with my Old Clem

Vinvent, the Sunrace shifters ratcheting is there only as part of the tension holding friction mechanism. It was in use well before indexed came to be in use. That indexed shifters happen to click once per shift change in unrelated to the ratcheting clicks of the friction variety. I've not
