And how did it go? Smoothly? Could access all 10 gears with ease? I have only used Retrofriction levers with 7 gears....I looked on line...most people seemed to struggle beyond 7 speed...though not all... probably safer to stick with SL7900?

I use friction DT levers on 9-speed without any problems; if you're not racing, I don't think it's an issue if you have to fiddle with the lever slightly to get the trim right.
