[RBW] WTB: Chocomoose bar

Howdy folks. Looks like a Joe Appa will probably be heading my way in the relatively near future. It doesn’t have a Chocomoose though, and I always thought if I got one it should. Anybody have an unloved Chocomoose gathering dust? Thanks, Doug -- You received this message because you are subs

Re: [RBW] Friction down tube shifters

Hi John, I never had ghost shifting issues on a 9-speed. On 10-speed, I did, so switched back to 9. Shifted great, as long as the nut was kept tight. I had to tighten about every ride. Reading through others’ accounts, seems like I wasn’t alone. Loctite may have worked as well. -- You receive

The Suntour Superbe Pro’s are excellent if you can find a pair...If they pull enough cable. I have been told that 9 speed is finicky about ghost shifting when going friction. Certainly I’ve have had just the experience you describe with my pre-Silver Riv DT shifters (don’t know how The compare to

Heyo, Not sure if this was on people's radar or not, but it looks like there is a pair of GBW on the web specials page on Riv, for what I imagine will end up being a bargain. I'd grab one, but I am a wee bit too small for the medium, it looks like. Happy Monday! Collin A -- You received this

Mineral spirits for sure. You can also use some fresh bits of Newbaums. Place the adhesive side of the tape on the rim and peel the old residue off. I’ve done this in conjunction with mineral spirits and it works well. Time consuming but painless - and your rim (or handlebars) will come clean.
