How do you like friction? I used friction till 2008-ish so I don’t remember much about it. Plus I def didn’t use high end friction. Been spoiled on high end indexed since 2015. Used two XTR shifters since then with a couple of different derailleurs and especially the 11s XTR+XT drivetrain is insane. Clean, fast shifts every time, even under load. I’ve never shifted under load before that system. Now I do it regularly, even if it’s probably bad for cassette wear. I rececntly bought a folding commuter with an Alivio 3100 indexed mech and oh my how much worse it is. Totally usable but if that’s the indexing I had to live with, I’d be considering friction.
Honestly, I’m behind the curve and have never used indexed shifting. I bought these CUES stuff before they had the drops stuff. I just went from downtube to handlebar.
