Do the Microshift shifters have that soft detent feel in friction mode?
RIvendell used to spec something like this on the Clem. It wasn't a very
good shifter, at least in friction mode.

others mileage may vary, but i recently started using a set of microshift
thumbies on a new to me bike.
i also have shimano on another bike (as you have) and silver! on another.
all set up friction.
of the three, the microshift has felt the best.

Yeah, the Paul thing is just the pod to which your mount the shifter. It
doesn’t include the actual shift mechanism. I swapped the pod on my Uno
shifter and it was easy but I had to modify it a bit to make it work. I
think you’re looking for a part that you can have mounted at a bike shop.
I’m unaw
I mounted Rivendell Thumbies on the stem of my Clem. Maybe not universally
appealing but it's an option. And not particularly cheap, but what is these
days.

Dross,
Thanks for the speedie reply.
8 speed? 9? Dunno. I'm not looking to replace the shifters, just move
them to a thumbie mount. Do you think they meant replacing the shifters?
This is the web page they sent me:

What speed are you running? The problem with the Paul mount is that you can
get a new shifter for less money. I have one of the blingy Uno shifters but
I also have two bikes with Microshift and it works just as well. There
isn’t too much you can do to engineer a significantly better friction
shifte
I have Shimano bar end shifters (friction) on my A Homer Hilsen that work
fantastically, but I've never liked placement as bar ends, because of me
knocking them out of gear with my knee, hand, ooops bike just leaned on a
wall ... So I asked my much loved and trusted bike shop, Keystone Bikes,
