I'll third the Microshift/SLX drivetrain... I've used it on two different
frames now. Currently have it on a Gevenalle/TRP brake lever, and used it as a
bar-end on my Hillborne. I used it in friction mode then, and got pretty good
at it, but the index mode is always there as a fallback.

I'll second the SLX/Microshift 11-46 setup. I had that on My Velo Orange
Piolet. Indexing on the Microshift sometimes got in between positions, but
could be fine tuned with more/less tension on the shifter screw. I'm
running a 1x11 White Industries ENO 34t to a SRAM XO1 & XT 11-46 cassette
