Friction, because in addition to the smooth and quiet fun mentioned
already, you can mix and match components widely. 6 through 9 speed gear
clusters, Campy Shimano parts together, etc.

Yea. I have index systems. I repeatedly futz with them until I get them as
close to perfect as I can, then I flip them over to friction. Occasionally
I switch them back to index, just to see if they still shift okay. I have
no valid reason for doing this other than the fact that sometimes when
I tried friction but went back to SIS downtube shifters. (I used to ride
all-friction, of course, for many years before indexing was invented). But
with 7 or more cogs using modern chains, it's almost impossible to feel
that it is just slightly out of alignment, the newer chains are too

Not so much contradicting as expressing another experience, but I
found friction shifting 10 cogs with dt friction shifters (albeit
Retrofrictions, the best of the best) was absolutely delightful;
easier in fact by quite a bit than shifting the 5 and 6 speed
freewheels on the trike using the same
What? You don't ride a fixie in the Green Mtns? :)

I have been using the indexed. But lately it hasn't been shifting too good.
So I have started using the frictionoption on my bar end lever.
It is smoot and quiet. I think I like it better.
Is there anything wrong with not even bothering to get the indexed adjusted
properly if I am just gonna
Technically there will be no problem, but your conscience will bother
you and you will develop hemorrhoids.
Patrick gave up indexing in 1994 without any scruple Moore

Apparently I have no conscience. Friction shifting might cause
hemorrhoids, but doesn't that belong on the Brooks thread?

Friction, because its fun, and it doesn't really need to be more
complicated than that.
