This is exactly what you describe. These are the 8 speed Shimano from Riv, and the rear wheel is a Phil Rivvy hub with a 7 speed freewheel. I have no problem using the right shifter in index mode. I did use a newer rear der which I assume has a floating top pully wheel for indexed systems. I don't consider myself a fantastic wrench, but I built this up myself after the LBS put on the headset. Riv has a video on installing bar end shifters which was very helpful and I find this a very comfortable way to shift on these bars. BTW, these are the cork grips that are grooved from Riv. They are more comfortable than I thought, although when it is really hot my sweaty hands tend to slide on the shellac. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
