  1. 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.
