I think it would be cheaper and easier to swap the bike. Are the rear derailleur and cassette compatible with indexed shifters ?
What is the other bike ?

I've dropped chains on my Ultegra and Rival bikes, but I've *NEVER* dropped a chain on a DT or bar end bike.

How does the type of shifter affect dropped chains ? Isn't it a function of front derailleur adjustment ?
