I had them on a Clem, they work great in friction. You can even use the left in index mode if you swap the cables. It might feel weird to your brain, but there's really no reason for the rear shifting to be on the right side. The derailers don't care where the shifter is! 😬 -- You received thi

Peter, Once again, thanks so much for the pointer to this bike at BnB! Today I swapped the GR-9s and Power Grips for a set of MKS Allways platform pedals (with Knee Savers; I'm afraid that for anatomical reasons, low-Q is wasted on me), and went for another test ride, which was wonderful.

I wholeheartedly agree. Grant, don't stouten up the Roadeo; do that to the Roadini, or let the Roadeo be a special order like the Legolas. Even Rivendell needs one bona fide gofast model. And don't put no stinking rack bosses on it, either. Amen. Patrick Moore, for whom the present Rodeo is the

That would be disappointing, the whole point of the Rodeo is to be a faster model in the line-up. Oversized tubing is already stiffer, you don't need a beefier/thicker model, you already have that in AHH. I have a Homer it's great, but it's designed for a different kind of riding than a Rodeo. I
