Huh, you want to run *FRICTION* shifters on a 10 speed cassette? What's

If the shifters produce enough cable travel for the full range of the 10s cassette, yes - I think that's what he's asking.

Back in the 5s friction days, one matched shifters to derailleurs by their overall cable travel - most combos worked, but some didn't.
