3 x 8/9 speed front flat bar friction shifter
Looking at one of these to replace my indexed Deore front 3X trigger shifter. I just like to have friction shifting on the front where it is so easy to trim the derailleur position. Does it matter to the front derailleur what speed my rear cassette and rear derailleur is? I would think not. I have a 10 speed on the back. Sunrace or Microshift sell these shifters as pairs usually and describes them as 3 x 8/9 flat bar friction shifters. Shouldn't I be able to replace my Deore front (left) shifter with one of these friction shifters?
Thanks!
