I'm incredibly pleased with using the OM one on my new Charlie with bar and friction shifters. Then I climb onto my platy, which has the old style Deore XT 9 speed and Shimano trigger shifters and, as one would expect, the shifting prowess sometimes works well, but under load sometimes is less than precise.
Sure, that's the premise of friction shifting for any derailleur and is completely understandable. The question becomes, if I changed to an OM-1 with the trigger shifters would my life improve much or would I still be in the same place because trigger shifters are inherently inferior or would I see some improvements under load. I am sure folks have strong opinions on this. I'd be most interested to hear if anyone has actually had the temerity to try doing this.
