i'm after a pair of braze-on type friction gear levers for my girlfriends bike.

i figure someone must have a set that they took off a conversion or something.
please send a pm if you can help.

You know that quite a few indexed levers could be shifted(pardon the pun...lol) into friction mode quite easily via a little lever on the mechanism?
Thus you'd have a far greater choice, don't think there are many friction shift specific levers that are braze on boss fitting though simplex retro friction levers spring to mind.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
