Hello
Hi guys, I'm from Wales in the UK, and I recently switched from riding a mountain bike to a classic steel 1987 Raleigh Equipe (which I spent 6 months renovating after rescuing it from my Dad's shed).
It now looks really cool and runs very smoothly but I just can't get my head round friction shifting!
I'd like to upgrade to index shifting. Can anyone tell me which thread to post the question in!?
Thanks!
