Not sure if anyone spelled this out clearly, but i like 9-speed because it all

with anything else. 10 speed road is compatible 8 or 9 speed. I will spare

Decided to add this - MicroShift bar-end and thumbies on the two index, and
they're great. Two tips to keep them great - first, do not over-tighten
the center bolt, allowing the RD spring to pull the shifter back to it's
detente. When you're pulling against the RD spring, always hold the lever
We have two x9s here, and both are index. My x8 and x7 are both friction.

Gabriel-
My initial response was incorrect.
*BS77* - 9 speed index/friction
*BS78* - 10 speed index/friction (out of production)
*BS79* - 10 speed index only (in production)
Regarding Microshift: I have little personal experience, but they are well
regarded. They're seen as having good quality,
Tim-
Thanks for the heads up on the BS-77's. I think the versatility of a
shifter that allows me to try both is what I'm after, and did not know the
BS-77's had that option. I also came across the Microshift Bsa10, which
seems to check the same boxes, but have no experience with that

I have the Dura Ace 10 speed shifters with the switchable friction/indexed
setting. I think you should go indexed on 10 speed unless you have a
compelling reason not to. The Shimano shifters were trivial to set up in
indexed mode with an old 9 speed XT derailleur. This setup has been working

Friction shifting more than 9 sprockets is too much of a pain for me. Even
with a 9 speed cassette, I find that friction shifting is a bit finicky. I
use the DiaCompe 11 spd DT shifter on my 9 speed setup and find that the
big barrel of the shifter makes for easier/smoother shifting.
