This is exactly what you describe. These are the 8 speed Shimano from Riv, and
the rear wheel is a Phil Rivvy hub with a 7 speed freewheel. I have no problem
using the right shifter in index mode. I did use a newer rear der which I
assume has a floating top pully
I've used Shimano Bar ends alot and generally speaking I almost always flip
them to friction mode. I cut my teeth on Suntour barcons and have just
always prefered friction to index shiffting no matter how many cogs I have
on the rear. If you're O.K. with friction only the Riv silver shifters
