Re: [RBW] Using modern derailers
I've never found a rear derailler that couldn't shift any given cogset -- well, perhaps the old Benelux pull chain one I used on my first conversion years ago. That said, I've not used a 10 sp rd, but I have shifted 10 in friction using Retrofictions -- no problems; quite the contrary, the shifting was excellent. Old 8 sp era Dura Ace rd. I have used 10 sp chains on everything from fixed gears through 7/8/9/10 with no problems. However, you might find that an 8 sp chain's pins extend to far beyond the plates to fit through the derailleur cages without striking them. Use a 9 or 10 sp chain.

Any issues with using 10 speed derailers with 8 speed chain or 7 speed freewheel that you can think of? (the LX was always a bit too long in the cage area and the gearing I am using I can get away with a medium cage like the Ultegra I have so I don't see that as too much of an issue.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Using modern derailers
I have friction downtube shifters on my Riv Road with Campy 9-speed. Works fine--I don't miss Ergo shifting at all. –Eric N Sent from my iPhone 4S On Apr 10, 2012, at 6:17 PM, RJM crccpadu...@gmail.com wrote: I was wondering if anybody is using modern 10 speed derailers with friction shifting?
