DarinM is selling some XTs on the iBob. Nice shifters.

Consider the SunRace and Falcon pure friction thumbshifters also, they only
sell for $15-20 retail.

Shimano 7 speed and 8 speed spacing are NOT the same. See Sheldon's sheet
https://sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-spacing.html
They are pretty close, and with the right combination of parts and a
favorable wind, they may work flawlessly. With some combinations they will
lead to just enough
Indexing is nice on the trail. I guess Barcons with thumbie mounts are a
straightforward way to go.
I may try some old XTs though... much cheaper.

I hear ya, Jeremy. Friction shifting on the thumbies doesn't really work for me
(I mostly use thumbies, hence index), but those Power Ratchets on barcons are
the business.

I have the 9spd Microshift thumbies on my wife's Heron and have experienced
the same issue with imprecise indexing. Otherwise her drivetrain is
identical to the one on my LHT which uses 9spd Shimano bar ends, and when I
first installed the Microshifts on her bike the difference was readily
9 sp Microshift on 2 bikes, and never played any games to make them perfect
- they just are.
It's important moving up to larger cog to hold the shifter until the shift
is complete, If you have a problem going the other way, it's because the
shifter bolt is over-tightened.

OK that link to the BS-T08 got broken up. Try this link:

While I find the Microshifts less precise than the equivalent Shimano
shifters, I think in practice they work fine. I've never had to "nudge the
pulley" as you say in order to upshift. Occasionally a downshift requires
a bit more of a nudge, but it isn't frequent. Most of the time I just use
I should caution that some folks don't agree with me about this. I've mentioned
the re-centering thing before and some people don't notice it; I'm super
finicky about this stuff.

A that interesting! Maybe I should just stick with friction.

The SunRace and Microshift indexing both suffer from not having a very good
re-centering action. I find when I shift to a harder gear (I have SunRace 8 and
Microshift 9) that I have to nudge the lever back a little bit to settle the
pulleys under the cog..like it overshifts a bit, then doesn't
Thanks all for the input.
How do the Sunrace work on indexing? Any good?
The 8 speed indexed (but friction capable) thumbie options I see are:
Suntour XC - I find the indexing on these is imperfect enough that I
keep it on friction permanently
Shimano Barcon on Paul thumbie mount -
