Oh, heck's bells! Yeah, your 5spd dt shifters are doing minimal work, with the teeth on that 10spd cassette grabbing/dumping the chain with abandon. The shifter gets the rder to put the chain in the right neighborhood, and the teeth do most of the work.

Sounds like I need to play with the Victory setup until I find the sweetspot. Right now it's running over an older 7 speed cassette. Think I'll try and modern 8 speed with shaped teeth on it after I sort out a good service on the RD. I've got various pulley's I can try on it as well as a set of the Velo Orange's coming in. Actually hope they work well with it since they look like they'll match the color of the bike, LOL!
