SunRace SLM96 thumbie
I think this comes indexed as standard, but it's possible to take it apart, remove a few tiny bearings which sit in a series of holes to creates the index markers (indices?!) and reassemble it, creating a lovely light action friction shifter.
Lots of small bits though so be careful/take photos as you go, if you want to do that!

Ordered nearly everything for the Marin 1x9 conversion. Fingers crossed they all arrive next week.
Went with the following:
Will use the SLX rear derailleur, which means I also had to buy a Ritchey barrel adjuster, so I will actually be able to index the shifting (as the SLX doesn't have one).
Gear range should be more than sufficient with the 36T chainring.
