A few things: First, yes the bar end Silver Shifters are basically the same thing as the downtube shifters, with the bar end pods. But,it should be noted that, the bar end pod replaces the little travel stop washer thingy that cones with the Silver Shifters when ordered in the downtube configuration. So it's the same, just different. You could use the silvers on a 10 speed cluster, if you have a suitable derailleur, but you might want to use something like the Wolftooth Tanpan to handle the needed additional cable travel. I personally just used the new Dia-Compe 11s shifter that VO is selling, downtube & shifts smooth as butter with the XTR derailleur. I have the SS1s on my Drakkar & I love'em, but they do stick out rather a lot when mounted on bar pods and I have nastily poked people (not on purpose) with them while riding the train. I welcome the new compacty, ergoness!
