You are in good company. Sheldon Brown said more than once that he preferred indexed shifting for the rear derailer. Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone

Silver friction front, DA index rear. I tried Silver friction on the rear for a while. Definitely smooth and silent, but I was never able to warm up to friction on the rear, especially when shifting over two or three cogs at a time. I hate missed shifts, and I don't have the patience to manually perfect a perfect shift that can easily be done with accurate clicks. If that makes me lazy, well..my average speed would back that up.
