I use a friction bar end shifter to run a 7 speed D-A freewheel on a Rich Lesnik built Phil hub. It works like a charm. The wheelset was on my Rambouillet for a while, but has moved over to a Nashbar. I noticed that an old Sachs 7 speed FW was too wide to work (chain up aginst the chainstay in smallest cog), but Shimano and Suntour are both fine.

Is anyone on the list using this with Silver downtube shifters and a Phil Wood Rivy hub with a 7-speed freewheel? Am I stuck with a 9-speed cassette configuration? I'm looking at my rear wheel options...
