Thanks very much for that info. That is the way you have set up a 6 speed on a modern 8-11 speed hub like on the wheels I linked originally?

The wheels I linked say 8-11 so I guess it's at least an 8 I need. I don't suppose anyone makes new indexed downtube shifters in 8-9 speed? I'm not locked into downtube shifting. Any suggestions for...

It's Shimano. Will I need a completely different hub body on a wheel for a 6 speed freewheel, than comes on a wheel for an 8-11 speed? Can an 8-11 be adapted in any way to fit a 6 speed freewheel?
