The finicky stuff was the rear cuz those clicks did in fact act kinda indexy and would sometimes leave you stuck slightly between gears. Which won't make a lick of sense to you if you've always used friction, so we can yak later on the PM about all that madness.
The front shouldn't be happening if you're downshifting before the hill, but WILL be a problem if you wait 'til you're already grinding up it. What the chain needs on those shifts is a little bit of pressure relieved - almost a paude - so the derailer can coax it off that big ring onto a smaller one. If you're already stuck on that hill then the family is just going to have to wait for mama as you head back down long enough to finish the shift and turn around again. The trick here - it took me ages to learn this - is to shift too early. See that hill coming? Don't wait until you're right there; go ahead and drop to the small ring and get those legs spinning like mad. You'll gradually "catch up to yourself" on the hill after the first spinning burst jetted you ahead of everyone cuz you're fast you win! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
