I change my mind on this every 3 months, so good luck with my advice! I was back to index (rear), then got a new Atlantis with 9-speed Shimano bar-ends and XT derailer that just doesn't want to index cleanly. I did a bar swap last week and the only thing I had around was a vintage 7-speed Suntour thumby, so I mounted it and put in friction. Perfect! For street riding* it's actually easier to guess the travel and snick into the next cog without pushing through a click and hoping the chain doesn't rattle. Ask me again in 3 months!
*Does not apply on singletrack. You need index for that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
