Like @
bikemig said, Microshift 9 speed is good stuff. I just bought the Microshift indexed bar end shifters (BS-T09) and the Microshift MarvoLT M46 (long cage) RD. The shifters and RD work well together and indexed (RD) is the way to go IMO....about $100 for everything.
The RD shifter can run indexed or friction.
The Marvol LT M46 RD is classed as an MTB shifter - no lightweight and it's big - but it shifts very nicely.
There are many other 9 speed Microshift and Shimano RDs that will work with these bar ends - some are short cage and a bit more graceful if that matters. I wanted long cage and for $23 figured I couldn't go wrong - haven't been disappointed.
