On a related topic, I just installed bar end silver shifters on my Blériot (pix to come). My installation kit came with four square hole washers…two with tabs and two without. The instructions that came with the kit only showed the tabbed square hole washer, no mention of the untabbed one; while the youtube video doesn't show a tabbed square hole washer. From the instructions, it looks as if the tab is meant to fit into the pod (i.e. towards the bar). However, the spacing is such that it would require the other washer to go on first. But doing that makes it so that the cable doesn't directly thread through the hole in the pod; too much washer thickness mean that the sable it would have to bend a little to thread. Since I figgered that having a straight cable line and uninterrupted tension is paramount, I simply left out the tabbed square hole washer. The shifting seems fine, but I wonder what the extra square hole washers are for. Any thoughts/ advice? cheers, bdl
