No Secret?
The 3 pair of XT and DX shifters I've owned all shifted fine in 8spd index mode right out of the box.

What's the secret?

The secret is pushing the lever one stop after the 7th click 
There is no eighth click. Six speed shifters have five clicks, seven speed - six clicks, and eight speed - seven clicks. However, with seven clicks you have eight spaces in between, including one at the beginning of the shifters throw and dead space at the end.rhett101 said:
Simple enough?
It was my understanding that the first 7spd XT's wouldn't do it, and the XTII's could?....unless we're talking the older M700 XT 6spds...in which you can't make 8 out of them.

are there really two different XT spd thumbies? i only know the M732 and all i have are 8spd able. the M700 are non-indexed, the M730 are the 6 speed thumbies which also work for 7spd i think.Rumpfy said:It was my understanding that the first 7spd XT's wouldn't do it, and the XTII's could?....unless we're talking the older M700 XT 6spds...in which you can't make 8 out of them.
