I had an experience that made me look at friction shifting in a new way. I thought it was interesting enough to share.
Do you know about the music genre "Exotica"? It's part of my newfound obsession with everything tiki.
Thank you for watching!

About 8 years ago we stumbled onto Martin Denny. I think we have 3 or 4 or his albums on Vinyl, including "Exotica". Perfect mood music for working on bikes.

Hey. Watching from Prague, just began my study abroad journey. Wanted to let you know that these videos really help ground me. Especially in this new environment, throwing on your vid calmed me down!

@ThePsychicDerailleur 7 месяцев назад

Thank you. That is too kind.

I love friction simple. Running a 1x10

I've put friction shifting on beginner bikes, and it's not uncommon for people to think their shifting is broken, when all that was needed was a tightened wing nut. Some people may be better served by the set it and forget it style of index shifting

Mid 70s here in Cali.

As others have said friction is not for everyone. I’m the only one in my family who runs friction on rear derailleurs. Sheldon would perhaps remind people that Sturmey Archer hubs had ratchet style clicks on their shifters well before wide spread indexing on derailleur shifters. Simple people like a reassuring click when they flick a switch or a lever and they don’t know what damage they are doing when the switch or lever doesn’t work any more. Experience tells them to stop what they are doing and call a technician.

Really enjoy your thoughtful show. I always learn something or am provoked to thinking! Thanks for the heads up on the tikiyaki orchestra! Sort of island / 60’s surf sound . Very good for the head . Time for a mai tai 😀

It’s always Mai Tai time!

Chris, where have you been ? Is everything ok ?

@ThePsychicDerailleur 5 месяцев назад

All is well thanks. New vid coming tomorrow!

My experience with friction shifting is 70’s schwinns, needing constant attention to the tension. I understand modern versions are much better quality

@jimbrittain402 7 месяцев назад

Jeez, I guess I'm a snob, Chris. One of the things I like about friction shifting is that it takes some attention and skill: not a lot, but some (I'm sure it's easier than learning to drive a stick). So I agree about the extra attention for newbies about friction shifting. And every time somebody sees the bar-ends on my road bike, I cuss the younger generation and their too-easy indexed lifestyle.

@McGowJobs 7 месяцев назад

Science friction? Seems like in your hypothesis, and index-shifted derailleur with a bent hanger could suffer a similar fate to the one that you described. I've been conflicted with my own affection for tiki culture, the fetishism of "exotic" cultures in general, and colonialism.
