I’ve done the same as @harv4130 with some shims I downtube jobbies - I did have to file the spacer slightly to get it so sit nicely, but friction shifting is so good.
Ha, I really didn't think a thumbie can produce such problems. To be honest, I don't think I will ever need to use that last gear in the Netherlands anyways, but still, it bugs my mind... I might just give in and buy a Deore Rapidfire shifter in the end.
Or I have a pair of Shimano barcons I could try first. I like the idea of friction shifting actually.
