Dura ace indexed to friction?

Posted on
  • Hey folks,

    Just a quickie, would it be possible to change dura ace 7 speed downtube shifters from indexed to friction then use them with a 8/9 speed cassette?

    Thanks

  • If it have a friction option, can't see why not.

    Do dura ace shifters (downtube) all have a friction option?

  • Not all, the latest 7900 doesn't.

    But any previous will?

    Thanks

  • Quick google said that your might be the SL-7401, so it have a friction switch.

    Not sure why you couldn't check it out from looking at your shifters.

  • I haven't bought the shifters yet, thanks for the info

  • Could you not get the info from the seller?

  • I tried but no answer (ebay)
