[RBW] Re: Silver thumbshifters
Am I missing something about these? When you up-shift you push with the thumb which is intuitive but how about when you are down shifting? Do you have to take your hand off and twist it?

[RBW] No DT shifter boss
I noticed that the Hillborne does not have any shifter bosses. Did Grant ever give a reason for this? I guess it's not a big deal, just curious. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Straight TT vs angled TT
Thanks for the insight, I am curious because I will be receiving a San Marcos next week. My current frame is straight TT and the SM is slightly angled, looks to be a little less then the Hillborne. Will let you know how it fits. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Straight TT vs angled TT
Is there any advantages to either or is it a more aesthetic thing? I'm not talking about mixte vs other, but say a Roadeo vs Hillborne.

[RBW] Re: Friction
I tried friction for awhile with the Silver shifter and I got to the point where I could shift perfectly about 98% of the time. I switched to Shimano bar-cons for a test and to be honest can not see myself going back to friction. They work really well and when they are get out of whack I can reach down, click the barrel adjuster on the downtube stop and it fixes the cable stretch. The one thing I do like about the Silver's is they are very easy to set-up and are not dependent on cassette size. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
