derailler question
I have a sachs rear mech (of about 1996 vintage on a Ryan recumbent) and
would like to know if the cable pull is the same as shimano or is it as the new sram. At the moment I have twist grip 7 speed changers but I want to change to bar end changers and it seems that shimano are the only ones available. Picture of the bike is he- www.ryanownersclub.com/scrapbook/stevewatkin/ |

At the moment I have twist grip 7 speed changers but I want to change to bar end changers and it seems that shimano are the only ones available. Picture of the bike is he- Pretty certain it will be the same as Shimano-7. The Sachs Aris rear block on my upright tourer is the same as Suntour 7 and Shimano 7 spacing. The Sram dual-drive 7 speed changer on my Pashley PDQ looks to be the same as Shimano (really must get round to swapping the rear mech, I have a much better one in the shed). www.ryanownersclub.com/scrapbook/stevewatkin/ On the fine-tuning of the bar-ends shifters on the Ryan... Do you plan to change the MTB bar ends on your handlebars for something different ? In terms of hand shape, they are pulling towards the rear at the top, whereas the natural hand shape requires them the other way round for really comfy bar-end shifter operation (one or two recumbent makers are now angling the top of under-seat-steering bars forwards at the top for the shifter. Not much of an angle, but it makes a big difference). Might be worth experimenting with swapping the MTB bar-ends from left-to-right. - Nigel -- NC - Webmaster for http://www.2mm.org.uk/ Replies to newsgroup postings to the newsgroup please. |
