question re top mount shifters "thumbies"
I have a set of Deore XT top mount shifters taken from a late 80's mtn bike that i am trying to sell. i believe they are 6spd and they have 6 hash marks on the right shifter. However, someone asked if they could be used for 7 or 8spds. any idea if they could be? I assume in friction mode that would be possible. and I also remember reading about an extra "ghost" click. here is a link to a pic:
