[quote=Whit51;9831169]I like the crispness of down tube shifters, and I like the way very little of the cable run requires housing. I think index barends work better for anything over 6 cogs. ]
but DT shifters are not stem shifters! I have a pair of Suntour barcons on a bike and just set up a Nexus with a bar end. I love the 'retro' look of the barends.
I have not used stem shifters since my Royce Union was stolen. they work but are perceived as cheap since they usually adorm lowend bikes.
