Friction Shifter - Touch ?
What Kind of Touch is used ; What do I feel; How Slow or how much does the lever need to move; move it until the chain leaves the current gear and my pedals are not driving me forward ?
If my hearing is not good enough to hear chain noises How will I know., what might I feel ?
I have read about shifters with something like motorcycle manual gear shifting-
Sounds good, but I'll be a "Retro-Nut" until... I can't get the Friction system to work.or feel the Need to Upgrade.
I acknowledge All Things must be in correct condition & Adjustment The bike of my youth was a Sturmey-Archer 3 spd. but that was in the flatlands and a long time gone.
I want the Friction system to work for me, more Simple, less Tech - upside down in the den, I'm having some success..As a parting question: When I put a Load on the Drive system will the Derailer system operate as without a load?
Hope Y'All out there enjoying a God-nice ride !
