I can't say that this is my experience. My bikes are 8 speed and 7 speed respectively. They can run index or friction (Shimano bar end shifters (old style LX rd's)) and I have to say that friction shifting is smooth. Both are cassette hubs. The only issue I have on one bike (non-Riv) is that the frame has a bit of flex to it, which can cause ghost shifting. On that bike, I use the index mode and wards off the ghosties.
