Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

    I used to run friction barcons on my C-dale cross bike (mustache bars) and loved 'em. A non-indexing grip shift would actually be pretty rad.Overall, the SRAM twist and X9 setup has treated me well. Once it gets dialed in it stays that way, even through mud and all sorts of crap. Every 12-15 months I kill a cassette and dread overcomes.

    Jens Voigt. I like him because he is old, fast and has 5 kids. I think he is a breakaway specialist though.1. Release derailleur from cable.2. With everything together besides cable, run der by hand through the gears. Set low limit screws so it barely shifts into the big cog and high limit screw so it just barely drops solidly into the small cog.3. Make sure both barrel adjusters are mostly in.4. Take all slack out of cable and housing and reattach to derailleur. (be sure shifter is set to highest gear)5. Ride and be happy, add a little barrel tension when the housing stretches.I have had amazing luck running der cables inside brake housing. You can't do it with Shimano, but the Sram will allow it, and the housing lasts forever and doesn't have all the annoyances of splitting/migrating steel fibers that one gets with der housing. I just get a mongo box of brake housing every year or so.

    Good tips E…. also playing with a front MXR grip shift you can have a non indexing rear gripsift ;)Road cycling Meh!Brake housing works ok with the whole non indexing thing… but forget 10spdthere's always paul thumby mounts and swithing the duraace shifter to friction mode as well

    Here's what was happening yesterday, until some seemingly random barrel adjuster fiddling made it all happy:Top two cogs shifted fine, up and down.Bottom two shifted fine, up and down.Middle two shifted fine up, but wanted to skip on the way down, shifting two down when I only shifted one.Beats me.
