Thankyou. I was also wondering if those Suntour barcon levers worked well with SR/NR but never asked. Do some of the Suntour barends ratchet like their counterpart, the Suntour downtube levers that I once enjoyed? I used to love that sound, it felt like the thing had some real grip.

i tried using an Campagnolo SR Derailleur with SunTour Bar/End shifters on a Shimano 7/Spd and a Campa 8/Spd Cogset. didnt really work,it would onlz cover 6 or 7 sprockets.
