I call my system reverse polish, the quick shift (front derailleur) is on the right with the standard eZip rotary shift on the left.
I'll try to get better info on the shifter soon. Right now I'm getting my road bike and my legs ready for a 6 day, 500 mile, Niagara Falls to Saratoga Springs trip a week from sat with 200 other crazy people. It's called the Great Big FANY Ride (where FANY stands for Five hundred miles Across NY). I got parts that need fixin.
Well, my at the moment "to do" action is to replace the wheel. I've never realized that its rolling movement was so terrible. For example, when you spin the front wheel, it turns about 6-10 times, then stop. The back wheel is even worse, about 2-4 turns. On top of that, the wheels are not straight... I don't think these wheels are worth enough to get it trued.
So I took a front wheel from my RockHopper Comp and it spins beautifully (literally spins 100x or more). The back wheels is a problem. I need to find a good quality rim that will accept 7 speed freewheel, which will be a task in itself. But, this should be a must if you pedal most of the time or just to increase the speed under power. I have a feeling this could make a huge difference.
