While I like and use the Silver shifters on my Sam Hillborne, that bike has a 7 speed freewheel. Did try it with an eight speed cassette and did not like the shifting characteristics. Seemed to my fingerbrain that the correct spot was right between "clicks" on the the shifter, so nothing was really and truly smooth.
Again, that's me. And with seven it is indeed heaven.
