Generally, I've found that anything over 95mm needs a long-pull lever. My
rule of thumb is that brakes up to 85mm work OK with modern (integrated)
brake levers, but you need a little more cable-pull for 90mm arms (the
more-recent Shimano levers work well). Since I don't like the hood shape on

Have you checked rear derailleur hanger alignment? This might be the
problem with indexing.
Otherwise friction isn't that bad.

Michael, I thought you were going to take this a whole different
direction. For example, when you compare the low cost and easy replacement
of a square taper crank arm to auto brake pads, rotors, wheel bearings, and
circuit boards on electrical appliances things begin to look optimistically
When I had a Campagne bag, I found that outfitting it with coroplast
stiffeners made a huge difference, and I was using a decaleur. A 1-part
stiffener made of appropriately folded coroplast (fold along the channels
to create a front, bottom, and back) works well.

If you like Shimano index, you'll *love* Silver Power Ratchet. That

This time it is great. I'm not sure if the indexing is wearing out on the
