You don't need a clutch rear mech unless you plan on doing something that really needs it. The 9spd, non clutch, stuff works with 10spd Road shifters and 10spd drive train. Check out rd-m771.
The clutch stuff is dyna-sys, so has a different cable pull ratio to the road gear and won't work with DT shifters. If you insist on a clutch, microshift do a bar-end shifter that would work with dyna-sys

Hi all, thought this might be the best place to ask. I'm thinking of swapping to a single, narrow/wide chainring and upgrading from 8 to 10 speed on a bike I've primarily used for long distance touring. The drive train is worn out and the bike could do with a new lease of life. But I'd like to keep running friction shifters - anyone have experience running friction shifters with a clutch rear derailleur? Does it work?
