Curious about which non-DA indexed shifters you're using on your Merckx that work well with a 740X RD.

They are 9 speed dura ace shifters and the RD is 7402 I believe. I don’t know why they work but the indexing is perfect. I’ve tried the matching 8 speed shifters and they didn’t index that well, and didn’t hold a gear in friction. These ones also don’t like to hold in friction and neither did the simplex retrofrictions I tried. I’ve never had issues with downtube shifters until this bike.
