This is very odd to me because among the most precise and "intuitive"
shifting I ever experienced was the Retrofriction dt shifter-cum-Am
Classic-10-sp (11-23, 12-27) cassette system originally installed on my
2003 Curt. Note that these cassettes were fully stock.
The 9 s- Silver BES + home-brew c
+1 on this. Friction shifting the 8 speed cassette on the Clem is loads
trickier than the old 5 cog freewheel. Obviously, it's a matter of
practice and familiarity, but trying it with 10? Nope!

FWIW, the Microshift rear road derailleur on the Fargo shifted more
precisely across my 9 sp cassette than the 7410 rd that replaced it after
the MS got caught in the spokes and busted, because the MS required more
lever throw. The (Silver) lever had to move some 110-115* to move the chain

I don't think it matters as most 9 speed and 10 spd have same cable pull
(at least for shimano). I think 11 speed is another story.
I've been successful using 1x10 speed on ultegra barcons, and the dia compe
ene bar end shifters. Just requires a bit more careful shifting, but i got
used to it.
there's a parallel thread going on ibob. I recommended Microshift index
shifters, bar-end or thumbies. Very happy with results on two bikes.

I find it difficult to friction shift 8+ speed clusters with "set it and
forget it" precision.
Trimming a 10sp must require a tailor's touch!

Well, a big nevermind.
I forgot the wheel I have built up has an older Deore 7s freehub, so
obviously 10-speed (all 10) won't fit.
And I managed to take apart a couple pinned 7s cassettes to get a
reasonable range for my Clem.
For those interested, it'll be a 42t single chainring with a
