Speaking of speed, I've moved up to a 650c bicycle for the first time ever. It's an ok city bike, nothing groundbreaking, it only has six speeds (42 crankset 14-28 6s) and I find it enough to cover wherever I go (already tested steep hills and I can go through them no problem)
Only problem is that I was planning on replacing the stock gripshift handlebars with these, which I love very much (only way for me to not rub around the grips is to literally lock them down).
Won't these screw with me twisting the gripshift?
tl;dr Since it's 6 speed should I
a. use an old thumb shimano shifter I have
b. move to 7 speed and use triggers
?
Bonus question: are sunrace cassettes ok and compatible with shimano? There's not a single decent 7s Shimano freewheel starting at 13 rather than 14.
