The other thing which helped me (apologies because I've commented about this before) was to swap the pulleys on the rear derailleur.
Newer RD's are designed to have float in the top pulley, which by nature makes any direct-touch (i.e. "non-indexed") system imprecise. The cogsets on the current setups are designed to make the chain shift. The chains are super flexible and designed to shift. The float in the upper top pulley is designed to compensate for an automatic shifter being in the wrong spot. All those things make it increasingly tricky to have a "feel" of when the chain is about to shift. Of course, these new-fangled wire-connected derailleurs are just a fad anyway... ;^) (viva Quickbeam!) - Jim cyclofiend.com / cyclofi...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
