Sorta urgent: DX or XT 7sp thumbie (only the 7 speed one)
Hoping for VGC but will consider anything, I need to finish this build for my sister inlaw.

There was never 8 speed XT or DX thumbies, they have an 'extra click' that means they work with 8 speed. The indexing isn't perfect but the floating jockey wheel on a Shimano mech makes it just about work.

 

[Spankyfart]

You're right, I honestly thought they were 8 for some reason.

So, do you still need thumbies?

 

[Spankyfart]

Yes.

I just sent you PM.
