Friction grip shifter

fleshpie.l@gmail.com · Oct 18, 2007

Does anyone know of a Shimano compatible grip shifter that can be
converted to a friction shifter. I saw on a Yahoo question post that
some shifters can have a part removed to convert it into friction but
some won't work without it. Would the Shimano compatible SRAM grip
shifters work?

You might be able to use one of the micro-ratcheting front shifters on
the back. I doubt that you could adapt a rear for friction shifting. The
ones I've seen rely on the detents to hold the shifter in place against
the derailer's return spring.
