No, but early '90s Deore DX is. 😋😁 I have the 7-speed brifters, cantis, & long-cage RD, on my ST-600. The brifters change gears very well, but there's a certain vibe to them, that I'll call friction, for this thread. 🤨😉
I've come to dislike FDs, but I do need a good tensioner. I've dropped the chain a couple times, but mostly from weeds & such, lol. 😁
