[RBW] Re: Silver thumbshifters

2011-10-13 Thread SamuelJames
Am I missing something about these? When you up-shift you push with the thumb which is intuitive but how about when you are down shifting? Do you have to take your hand off and twist it? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

[RBW] No DT shifter boss

2011-09-26 Thread SamuelJames

2011-09-12 Thread SamuelJames
I tried friction for awhile with the Silver shifter and I got to the point where I could shift perfectly about 98% of the time. I switched to Shimano bar-cons for a test and to be honest can not see myself going back to friction. They work really well and when they are get out of whack I can
