If you think you are drifting Off Topic, trust your instincts and do not do it! Introducing Off Topic threads this way is insidious and grows like a fungus , with members responding and before you know it we have 20 messages all Of f Topic! Unacceptable!
>From this point on, members introducing an Off Topic subject in a message t o this CR list will result in the auto boot!

I might be drifting off topic here...

Is is possible to use Ergo levers on a conventional 6 speed freewheel? What

could possibly go wrong? Everything?

The question 'why' notwithstanding, has anyone tried this before?

If not then I will be friction shifting a Veloce rear derailleur on my Masi

Mr. Kohl has been kind enough to point out the following:

I would like to add that I had a pair of those Sidis back in the mid 80's.

I loved them, but be warned, that cleat really locks onto your pedal!! Th

ere

is no float whatsoever and I found that adjustment was very critical.

Furthermore, they can be difficult to get out of in a hurry!! I never had

that

"problem" with Dettos or Vittorias.......

Of course you could always remove a bit of the material I suppose???? And

as Mr. Sachs so often reminds us: YMMV
