You should lash a roll of toilet paper on the rack.

Someone would steal it.

Thanks! I hacked up my Wald Clem basket and now it’s a rear racing basket.

I’m putting on the finishing touches. I’m getting a ghost shift between the second and third cog. I swapped the Clem complete 9 speed cassette (Sunrace?) for an eight speed Sunrace with a larger low gear. I think it’s a 40t so I put on a WolfTooth hanger to help. It’s all gravy except the ghost shift. Too much chain?

Seems odd. Are you on friction or index? have you played some with the cable tension to get it just right. Another thought is that possibly the derailer is not able to take up all the range leading it to being a bit too slack in the lower cogs (just guessing). Does it happen in both big and small ring? Might also be a slightly bent der hanger (Again just guessing). In terms of chain length - I usually measure it by wrapping it around biggest chainring and biggest cog (without running it through the derailer) then add one chainlink segment (1") to that length.

Thanks, Clayton. I’m running fiction shifters. I removed a couple links and swapped the derailleur. Could have been a loosish cable. Seems good to go now. Here’s Clem in the habitat I hope to revisit more often.

The shifting is sorted. Maybe it was a unfriendly stiff link that got sorted out. I swapped the derailleur for a rapid rise Deore. Found some new fun trails today!
