Hi all,
Looking to convert an old 5 spd road bike to flat bar and if possible replace the downtube shifters with something bar-mounted.
I've seen these but wanted to know:
Are the shifts indexed - i.e twist the grip and it "clicks" to the next gear?
If so, is the spacing of each "click" going to be compatible with the spacing on the cassette?
I know Sachs Huret is now SRAM, so hopefully they're compatible. Checking on Sheldon Brown, etc, suggests to me it will be OK, but I put my trust in your knowledge!
Thanks
