Plenty of used stuff about!👍
I use 10 speed on summer bikes and 9spd on winter and touring bikes that way wheels etc are interchangeable.
One. Tour de fer belt and braces tourer. On road, off road, trailer, no trailer, loaded with panniers or not. Simple. Never going to enter a road race so not relevant.
I have Dura Ace bar end shifters with a Deore 3x9 MTB transmission.
Of course soon everything below 11 speed you own will be old tech shimano wise with Cues already on mtb and coming to road next year .
Great from the bike shop/ manufacturer point of view but not so good for anyone running them as cues is not backwards compatible and disc only .
Shimano as usual being deliberately bloody awkward.
I bought This cassette before I knew about the changes. There's an extra spacer at the back of the cassttee which pushes it off the end of the freehub and into the frame on my bike. I had to take the entire cassette to bits to make it fit. Pita.
Probably have to go to aftermarket cassettes for old Shimano 8-10 SPD standards.

I had 9 spd dura ace down tube shifters with a deore rear mech on my old tourer. Worked perfectly.
