Keep an eyes out for Suntour Retrofriction shifters, they offer amazing feedback which is very handy when riding on loose surface.

I find downtube shifter easier off road as having bar end shifter is a little tricky when the bar is moving.

I have a pair of Simplex Retrofriction shifters but didn’t use them as they need a gear cable with a very small cable-end that I didn’t have. So went with the Dia Compe ENE micro-ratchet shifters.

I may try the Simplex shifters in the future out of curiosity but I’m not sure I’ll want to give up the micro-ratchet. It feels and sounds lovely.

Campag/SRAM basically (or a Clark/universal one from any shop).

Shimano is the only one with a slightly larger end.
