    Running out of cable is what it's doing, I should think. It wouldn't have been designed to pull a derailleur that far across the cassette.

    There are some Shimano bar-end shifters that can operate as non-indexed friction shifters for 8/9-speed, I think, so you might find downtube friction levers with enough range.

    But friction shifters with a 10-speed cassette is kind of perverse. And quite amusing. :)

    friction works well exept the mentioned problems. I like it to, feels good to be able to microadjust.

    but I have some DA downtube shifters heading my way as we speak. Wonder if it will help against autoshifting. And I really hope i can fit them in the suntour band on studs I have now. have anyone tried something similar?

    motobecane jubilee sport. Great comfort and speed, nice agressive riding position.

    Runs really nice, but struggling with 10spd cassette plus 5spd friction shifter. Cannot shift to the largest cogs, stops on cog number 8. Just seem to run out of cable. Also there is quite some autoshifting when climbing.
