Joined: 17 Sep 2008 Posts: 1 Bike: | I am coming back to cycling after a long break (I was mainly rowing), so my bike is a little out of date but a good bike in its day. I want to keep using it as was made to measure, but was designed in the days of 6 speed blocks and Campag was king. Gear shift is by two down tube levers and indexed gears did not exist - I am still running sprints and tubs! So: I snapped my crank on my Campag Record (lasted well but now gone); I will replace this easy enough and have been told Dura Ace is the best now. Is there any way of changing to using the levers for changing gear? I can get a set of levers of the right design and set-up the derailleur to not extend beyond the two extremes; but I cannot fit a new block due to the frame design so will the levers be able to change gear? I know levers are indexed to 9 or 10 speed rear blocks, but could they be used or adapted to work for an old style 5/6 speed block? Why do you need so many gears these days? cadence I suppose. |

Many modern shifters (especially bar-end or down tube types) have a friction option specifically for this reason. You're right—more gears today are mostly about cadence optimization and small jumps between ratios. But a well-set 6-speed with friction shifting can still be smooth, reliable, and a joy to ride.
