Hi,
Since I'm building up a triple setup, and all I have are double Ultegra shifters, I'm considering
the 'Lance' configuration where I use a downtube shifter for the front, STI in the rear. I'm using
an Ultegra triple front derailleur. Question is:
I have an old set of Shimano AS-550 (RX-100) downtube shifters (came with a double setup) where the
rear is indexed or friction and the front, I believe, is friction only. Could this possibly be used?
I recall that it used a front derailleur with a different pull ratio than an 'STI' derailleur, but
I'm wondering that if that matters in friction mode, as long as it can pull enough cable to cover
the triple range.
