Thank you Sam for this post. This is currently on my mind. My friends insisted on a clutch derailer, and then, better than insisting, a friend gave me one (I reciprocated to make it a trade :)
So I've been internally himming and hawing over what shifter to run on my Shimano 11 speed clutch derailer and Shimano 11-42, 11 speed casette. One thing that came to mind is I'd like to have friction shifting an option if/when, for some reason, I can't correctly tune the indexed shifting with a barrel adjuster etc. I think the barcon/bar-end option to switch between indexed and friction shifting is a really nice option and back-up plan. I am also a little resistant to mountain bike trigger shifters, not for mechanical reasons, just...personal prefernce/bias. So I'm thinking I'll go with the Microshift 11 spd thumb shifter. It looks like its the SL-M11 I want: https://www.microshift.com/en/product/sl-m11/ I wish it had the bolt with the folding loop on top like the Shimanos to make it easier to switch between friction and indexed. I think I'm decided now, thanks, but also happy to hear more. -Matthew San Diego, CA On Monday, January 11, 2021 at 9:24:00 PM UTC-8 Adam in Indiana wrote: > I’ve been using 1x11 for a while, in both friction and indexed.
