Thanks for that . I was curious because I can't see any problem with anything . What still confuses me a little is that it was never that extreme when it was on the Jackson . The only difference is how close the cable stop is to the dropout , on the Jackson it was further away . As the mech has a really high cable entry point the outer cable is short and fairly tight , if you see what I mean .That was always what I never liked about those retro friction shifters. They use a lot of movement per gear shift, so by the time you get to the big cogs, it's almost pointing backwards. The advantages of course, are the ability to fettle and get it just right as you change and the leverage is such that the cable is less likely to slip out of gear
