Both of my bikes have bar-end shifters which are in friction mode for the front derailleur and either index or friction mode for the rear.
When the rear indexing gets a little out of whack, sometimes I'm too lazy to adjust it, so I change the rear shifter from index to friction. It's a simple turn of a knob on shift lever. Dusty (my pink Riv) is currently friction shifting front & rear.
Next time you see either me or V. (she has essentially the same setup on Fluffy), we'll show you what I'm talking about.
ed. to add: hey! I just noticed Bubba's comment about "Rivendell nuts" . Oh, OK, guilty as charged.
