[RBW] Re: Help me diagnose chain slip cause?

i just went through this very same issue with my HubbuHubbuH. I had used the exact same derailer and shifter combo on my Cheviot so it was a huge mystery to me what wasn't working. I had friction shifters and swapped them to index, and this helped the most (but it seems like you have this
