Thomas, be very careful - once you go friction indexed shifting starts to feel like overkill; you may never go back ;-)
--- Over the last couple of years I've gone friction on my entire "fleet" of bikes. Three to be precise; a 3x7. a 3x9 and a 1x11. Once I got into the groove I saw no need to go back. For the sake of full disclosure - I did start my riding career before the advent of indexed shifting, so I was weaned on friction at a tender age.
