Hyper-Glide and SunTour
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2012 2:19 pm
Am heading towards a re-mix of stuff on the Pegasus, which is a mixture anyway. Currently it has 105 shift DT levers, older Shimano 600 RD (non-slant parallelogram), and a Hyper-Glide 7 speed. I haven't yet ridden it, (didn't bother putting the crappy pedals on it when assembled after it arrived), so don't know how well it shifts currently.
Can anyone pass an opinion on how it will go once I put the SunTour Sprint DT shift levers on, as well as the SunTour Sprint 9000 RD? If it doesn't work, the 7 speed will go and I'll get something compatible.
In theory it should work OK, I think; Hyper-Glide being a 'locked in' cluster with the on-ramp/off-ramp thing built in. I'll be happy with friction mode, which I think is switchable on the Sprint levers, via the flip-out half-ring.
.... have only just noticed that the rear dropouts are SunTour PRO.
