I detest RapidFire shifters and really like my SunTour thumbies, which I run in friction mode, since I am running an 8-speed freehub with a 7-speed thumbie. I have always liked SunTour's rear derailleurs, and my XCD is no exception. I also always greatly prefer non-indexed gear selection up front, particularly with a triple. I hae some of the newer SunTour thumbies that lack a true, smooth friction mode.
