There isn't a thing in the world wrong with 9 speed. You can even
customize it: most of my bikes run 13-30, and all but one of those are
Sheldon's Century Special 12-27s turned into 13-30s by removing the 12,
replacing the 13 with a 1st position 13 and adding a flat 30 behind the
27. I use them with 24 or 26 / 36 / 46 or 48, giving me a gear range of
~97" high down to ~22" low, with a 32" low on the middle ring. That
might not suit your gearing needs & preferences, but it sure works for me.
As for shifters, I love bar ends. My first exposure to them, back in
1975, was just like the moment in Godfather I when Michael Corleone
first sees Appolonia. Love at first shift, and they will have to pry my
cold dead hands off of them. YMMV.

Steve,
I heard from Brian, who is doing my build. There is also an issue
with the narrow 10 speed chain falling between the chainrings. Brian
is recommending the 3x9 with bar end shifters and I'm going with
that. I'll ask about that Audax shifter location and see what he says.
Thanks.

Steve,
That sounds about right. I'm glad there is a fix for it. I'm
thinking of going with the recommended 3x9 option. As for shifter
location, if not down tube, I'm not sure I want bar ends. I
shouldn't have any knee collisions with the Nitto Noodle, but I'm
not sure. This "not quite a brifter" option looks interesting:

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure of the exact wording
used to describe the problem. Part was related to the Dura
Ace 7900 down tube shifter being road and the rear
derailleur and 10 speed 12-36 cassette being mountain.
In other words, you have a Dyna Sys MTB 10 speed rear
derailleur, whose cable pull is incompatible with 10 speed
Shimano road shifters of every kind. Wolf Tooth TanPan will
fix that. Or, use a 9 speed Shimano MTB rear derailleur,
which has compatible cable pull and will handle that 10 speed
chain perfectly well (lots of my friends are using that setup).

There might have something else about that combination
with the Sugino XD2 triple crank, maybe related to the
10-speed chain. I forget exactly. There was too much to
take in and process all at once and my sponge overflowed.
:) I'll pass the Tanpan idea on to Roman to see if that
might help any.
If it were me, I'd go with the 8 or 9 speed MTB derailleur.
Of course, the fact that I have a couple of them in my parts
box makes that an easy choice.
Be glad you don't have 11 speed. That gets weirder still.
