Re: [RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

This is the part where I annoy everybody..I dislike those shifters. 9-speed Shimano uses clicks in the back that work great (plus friction option), and the front friction shifter doesn't loosen up. Easy! Joe Bernard On Monday, November 15, 2021 at 11:38:51 AM UTC-8 Garth wrote: > My

Re: [RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

My shifters only tend to loosen with large shifts in climates, usually from humid to dry and hot to cold. Rather than trying to tighten it where it is, I simply don't pedal, then I loosen/release the tension of the D-ring totally and gently snug it up from fresh from there. On Monday,

Re: [RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

Back in the day when everything was friction shifting, you could tell if your frame had more than normal flex in it because the D-rings would need to be snugged down more frequently as the frame tugged at the cables. As others have said, most friction systems are set-and-forget. You’ll know if

[RBW] Re: Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

My experience is they need to be snugged up every now and then. After a while you'll be able to tell as soon as you nudge the D-ring before a ride that it's time. Joe Bernard On Monday, November 15, 2021 at 9:52:44 AM UTC-8 adamc...@gmail.com wrote: > D-ring, yes. I'll give it a shot, thanks

[RBW] Re: Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

Like any screw, it will loosen over time, but for the most part, it should be set and forget for a good long time. Especially if you use locktite or beeswax on the threads. (Although I have had one set of screws and a frame where it would loosen frequently, which I attribute to bigger

[RBW] Re: Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

D-ring, yes. I'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip. This is my first time using friction shifting on a bicycle so it's all new to me! Does that d-ring / tension tend to need regular attention or does it just need to be dialed initially and then get on with it and forget about it? On Monday,

>From what you wrote Adam it's a matter of adjusting the tension bolt, which I'm assuming is a d-ring, yes ? These are adjustable on the fly, you want just enough tension to hold the gear. It's just something you get a feel for, not too tight, not too loose. On Monday, November 15, 2021 at

Hi everyone, I am enjoying my brand spanking new Joe Appaloosa built up by Rivendell. Had it for about 6 weeks or so, I have put maybe 75 miles or so on it, most of them from the Nutmeg Nor'easter ride a couple of weekends ago, which was a wonderful 40 mile ride, Joe's maiden voyage I'd say.
