There are also 'Clamp-Over' shifters that allow front \u0026amp; rear shifters to be used on a frame that only has a single braze-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShift Type - \u003c\/strong\u003efriction shifters don't click into gear when you change, when they do click it's referred to as indexed shifting. For this to work correctly you must use the same system as your rear derailleur, if you're using friction levers you can mix and match. You don't need to worry about the front derailleur as left downtube shifters aren't indexed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed - \u003c\/strong\u003ethe number of cogs at the back the right shifter is designed to be used with. This is important with indexed shifting but with friction shifters you can in theory run any shifters with any speed setup, although the right lever will need to be pulled back further to shift into the larger cogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShifter Boss Type - \u003c\/strong\u003ethe shape of the mount (for braze-on fixings only). Campagnolo \/ ISO is standard and easily identified by the flat sections on either side, usually combined with a square base for the backing stop plates to fit. There are also Shimano ones with a keyhole shaped base and much less common French ones that are round with no flat sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoss Thread Size - \u003c\/strong\u003eM5 (5 mm) is standard for Campagnolo \/ ISO bosses, but Shimano bosses will often have M4.5 (4.5 mm) threads and the French bosses would likely have 5 x 1 mm threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Simplex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57752450171261,"sku":"U-G3-S-B164V","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/7312\/files\/U-G3-S-B164V-Simplex-Super-L.J.-SLJ-5068---5059-Retrofriction-Last-Type-Vintage-Braze-On-Downtube-Shifters1_d8520977-a2ee-4616-995a-f545f4ad3c59.jpg?v=1769681041"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pedalpedlar.co.uk\/collections\/simplex\/freewheel.oembed","provider":"Pedal Pedlar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
