Both felt really plasticky.
I used the gear stuff as I had no other option but the gears were a pain to set up and they really shouldn't be, nice short cage mech on (part of) a 7 speed cassette so they were really clunky and positive last time but felt vague and draggy this time.
I have a friction thumbie on the way so it won't be too big an issue.
Unrelated question, do you deal with a scrap metal dealer at all?

Some lbs pay their rent out of the markup they make on cables alone ;)
But seriously, some use utter garbage cable that has similar properties to wet week old spaghetti yet also charge £8 a meter for it. Right now though getting any cable is tricky, has been all year, we've changed about 4 times, settled on elvedes super smooth stuff
