Any idea if this is also true of downtube shifters? I have DA7700 9-speed on my commuter w/ downtube shifters and 10 speed everything else. The only reason I haven't put a 10 speed cassette on is the shifters tend to slip in friction mode and shift without my request to do so.
Dunno...never tried it and I don't have DA DT shifters to give it a go.
I do use DT friction shifters on my old Serotta steel bike. Got them through a buddy @ Electra, don't remember what brand, though (Orange, maybe?). Never really had an issue with them slipping...if / when they do, a 1/8 of a turn on the d-ring takes care of it.
