converting to combo shift/brake levers
Has anyone converted from downtube shifters to the new combo shift/brake levers? I'm wondering what sort of problems I might run into doing that to my 70's Raleigh.
I'm also wondering if I can switch from the 5 gear sprocket to a 7 gear cassette, Maybe going with a different rear derailleur with a longer throw, allowing for a bigger hill-climbing ring.
