Just re-indexed my gears, first time doing so on this bike. I think it’s all good? But I wish there was a perfectly quiet drivetrain… does such a thing exist? Can you perfectly index so there is never any noise and all shifts are perfect? Or does that require wireless shifting?

Zen master voice: With friction shifting, the indexing is never off.

This feels technically correct

Never might be asking a lot but I assume you can get real, real close to never.

Perfect shifts with no excess noise would be good too! But I probably need to check my chain wear as well.. but only one project at a time haha
