Re: [RBW] Atlantis 10 speed friction shifting?

[Joe Mullins]

Which rear derailleur do you have? Rivendell’s Silver Shifters are the smoothest friction shifters out there in my opinion. Regardless of your rear derailleur you should be able to just swap the trigger shifter for the friction shifter. 

Look into how you want to mount it because Riv has been know to flip the left for right which allows you to run it on the thumb side of the grip which makes sense to some. It's really a matter of preference.

Howdy all,

My Atlantis is equipped with the silver 38/24 crank up front, and an 11-42 10 speed cassette in the rear.  For rear shifting, I have the Deore Rapid Fire trigger shifter (index).

I'd like to switch to friction shifting in the rear, without having to change the cassette. Any ideas / experience on how to make this work?

All you need is a shift lever that pulls enough cable. How much "enough" is depends on the derailleur's design: how much it moves per unit of cable movement. Older rds move more per ditto, newer ones less -- so I understand; I very rarely use any rd beyond 8 speed era.

My experience: Dura Ace 7402 rd pulled by Simplex Retrofriction (= small barrel) dt shifters over 11-23 and 12-25 Am Classic 10 sp cassettes: beautiful shifting.

DA 740? -- I think it may be the same 7402, but it might be a 7401 -- pulls across 13-25 10 sp with a Suntour barcon: wonderful; the lever has to move just a wee bit more than 90* to shift from small to big cog.

Close: Microshift road rd pulled across 9 cogs with a Silver 1 BES with movement in both to spare; very good shifting.

Ditto but with reverse-pull LX rd.
