I ran those 851 SSC derailleurs for years...they're light, easily rebuilt, simple and very durable. But they aren't meant for indexing. Like someone stated previously, you could try it, but it would be a longshot. If you want a really cool, retro set-up...find yourself a pair of old Kronos carbon friction shifters!
