It’s fine. Works nicely.
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?

That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to achieve, yes. Unfortunately Deore thumb shifter has this weird lever thing (for switching between 7sp index and friction) that gets pushed out of friction mode when you push the lever right out (max cable pull). It sort of means that the ‘end’ of the pull does something I don’t want it to do instead of just stopping.
Aha, typing that out has made me realise: instead of worrying about the mech, maybe I need to change the shifter!

Thanks btw! it’s tons o funs

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.
