Will a derailleur even shift between the cogs on a DOS?

I’d be surprised if it did at all and absolutely shocked if it did it well.

It’s fine. Works nicely. As smooth as any friction shifting with non-angled teeth and non-ramped cogs, that is. It’s actually quite a joy.

Only prob is I keep overshifting down into the spokes, keep scratching the black ano behind the fw (I hate black parts, here’s a good reason why), as I can’t make the limiters limt enough on this particular mech (even with extra long limiter screw, reason is the bit of metal stopper that meets the screw is really short, the long screw clears it now).

I think 16/19 would give me a bigger ‘difference’ in the pedal resistance as I shift down, I’m not really noticing that I’ve done the shift (slowing down as I shift) and carrying on moving the shifter past the cog. Bleurgh.

Using @cake ’s DOS (thanks buddy!) that’s 17/19, so I’m getting these ratios, not quite as even spread as 16/19 would give but it seems good.

Schooled. Glad it’s working out.

Could you set it up so that in the top cog was the max throw off the shifter then only rely on the limit screw to stop you coming off the bottom of the fw?
