Steve, Thanks for enlightening me. I had done all my 10 speed conversions with either the XT 9 speed rear derailleur or the road Sun XCD.
As everyone else pointed out really well, 10 speeds with either downtube or barend shifters works very well provided you stick to a road 10 or MTB 9 speed rear derailleur. I guess I as lucky I didn't have a dynasys rear derailleur. Tim, you'll do great with 9 or 10. And, if you like the barend shifters but don't like their position, there's always the stem adapter to put them there. I have that setup on my Betty and love it as well. https://flic.kr/p/dKDmnB https://flic.kr/p/e2CSkU René On Friday, August 26, 2016, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Steve: This is definitely the issue for me.
