I’ll go out on a limb and suggest NSMB has more **[](https://nsmb.com/articles/you-should-try-friction-thumb-shifter/)[thumbie-loving](https://nsmb.com/articles/you-should-try-friction-thumb-shifter/)** writing staff than every other MTB publication today put together (which is hilarious to me).
I’m all in on the friction mode though. Something about feeling your way through a many-geared cassette on the fly that’s pretty sweet.
