The front/left hand is friction only on my 8 speed set. The right hand can be either index or friction. As i have an 8 speed drive train I have it set up as indexed.

I've been considering 'backwards modifying' my early 90's tandem. The missus would prefer that to riding solo bikes. Anyone here have experience of bar end shifters? Are they all indexed? I'm sure they used to be un-indexed back in the 70's
