If it have a friction option, can't see why not.

Do dura ace shifters (downtube) all have a friction option?

Hey folks,

Just a quickie, would it be possible to change dura ace 7 speed downtube shifters from indexed to friction then use them with a 8/9 speed cassette?

Thanks

Joe

I've just found a pair, thanks

how much dollar yah got to spend, got a set of mint FRM CU2 cranks with matching titanium bb

No where near what they are worth, thanks though

oops, sorry 3 years too late

Looks like I'll just go with threading it all the way through, suppose with it completely sealed the inner might rust just that little bit less

Thanks fellas

As far as I can think, there are four ways of dealing with the cable run to the rear brake:

• Using clips as BrickMan mentioned.
  
• Using welded / brazed on guides that the outer runs through.
  
• Using cable stops which only the inner runs through.
  
• Internal run through the top tube which can either have stops or need outer the whole way through.
  
  

If you have welded / brazed on guides you don't need clips.

Ok basically I've got 3 welded on cable guides on top of my top tube, what I think i need are some cable casing caps that are flared? or just bigger at the end so my outer cable doesn't go through my guides, then I could just run a bare inner between them. Otherwise running the outer through all 3 will give a 'spongy' brake, my friend did it and his brakes were naff

Thanks

where do I get these clips?
Thanks

Hello there,
I've got a lovely old 1984 raleigh team replica frame and I've been riding it fixed for a year now which is great, but I think it deserves gears and living in Brighton I think I deserve them as well (give my legs a rest).

Obviously I'll need a rear brake which I've got (1990's campagnolo athena) but I was just wondering how I'd route the cable through 3 cable stops which are on the top tube. On my other bike there's just two so I run an high quality outer cable (from the brake lever) to first cable stop, then just use some thin plastic cover between the two stops and then continue the proper outer cable from the second brake stop to the rear brake itself.

If you understood that then you might be able to envisage my dilemma, do I just run the thin cable and crappy cover through the middle cable stop? Or do I cut 2 pieces of high quality cable stop and put them between the middle stop and the other two?
I'm sure I'm just over thinking this and its really simple, just thought I'd ask.

Thanks
Joe

Lovely frame! May I enquire into where you got the shifter boss cable stops?
Thanks and good luck

If this is still available, how much? Thanks
