Jerry Moos writes: When you look past our shared dislike of index shifting, ten-speed casettes and clipless pedals I don't know whether that is a "shared" dislike. I have both modern ergo and STI and I have friction shifting (rode friction yesterday and today on different bikes). I don't ride bikes without clipless pedals anymore, even at Cirque. Just because the newer stuff is off-topic for this list, I don't think you can categorize it as something that we all dislike. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
