The comment about the Miata home. That's EXACTLY how it felt to me on his bike.
I took his bike for a short ride and it was shifting fine for me. I *think* he knows how to friction shift, but I'm going to test him by having him do it on my bike - I know my bike works, so if he messes that up his problems are clearly manufactured - by him! On previous rides, I heard his Clem pop into other gears when he rode it uphill, and sometimes the gears would chatter and I'd tell him to nudge it a bit but it would remain noisy until he chose a whole different gear. Would have liked to have run my experiment tonight, but I got home late (hanging out with teenagers at youth group) and my dog - a bonafide walk junkie - was jonesing for a walk. No bike ride. Your comments are all so extremely interesting. I am going to investigate your points when I take the bike in to have a front rack affixed. Patrick Moore - I laughed out loud. Yes, eye rolling happens here, and always in hilarity. This man of mine, I tell you what! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
