With friction shift levers how tight the cable is is less important then with current indexed stuff. As long as the lever pulls enough cable for the der (ft or rr) to move enough for the cogs/rings on the bike all else is preference. Personally I liked the lever to start pulling cable right away, others didn't mind a bit of lever travel that only took up cable slack before shifting. Your choice. Andy
