Well don’t forget I augered into a sand pit and literally filled the right brifter with sand. I think I did a really good job cleaning it out but you can only so so much. The DA bar cons are nice in friction. Gotta be careful standing though. I was hoping to use my Riv down tube shifters ( like

I'm thinking of using Gravelking 650b x 38mm tubeless with A23 rims. Has anyone used these Gravelkings? I've never used tubeless before, so I'm trying to solicit experience with the 38s. Most of the tubeless seem to use fatter tires, presumably for lower pressure. What pressure would you run

Yes, a 105 brifter will shift a Shadow XT 9 "ok", but bar-ends are better at it. With brifters the shift either takes or it doesn't, there's not much you can do to help it along. Bar-ends are technically index (rear), but you still have the friction-like ability to coax onto a recalcitrant cog.

Judging from the photo, you have a recent vintage 9-speed MTB rear derailleur.  If so, all you need to convert to 9 speed indexing is a 9 speed right hand shifter.  In Shimano world, 8 and 9 speed MTB rear derailleurs are compatible with road shifters 8-10 speed.  10 speed MTB rear derailleur
