9 Speed VS. 10 Speed (Dyna-Sys) For Bicycle Touring?
I don't know when Shimano and Sram will Stop making high end 9 Speed Bicycle Parts
and I here you can't use 10 Speed bike part with Dyna-Sys with 9 Speed Shimano XT RD-M772 Rear Derailleur and the New 10 Speed bike parts are marked (Dyna-Sys) and
New Crankset 24-32-42t will work both 9 Speed and 10 Speed and I am using a new
Shimano Deore 24-32-42t Crankset 10 Speed on 9 Speed on my Surly LHT 26in 52cm 2008
and both Shimano Dura Ace SL-BL79 Bar Ends Shifters and Shimano Mtn Thumb Shifters and both Right Shifters are marked (Dyna-Sys) and Left Shifters are non Dyna-Sys
I just Replace my Crankset, Front Derailleur, Cassette 9 Speed, Chain 9 Speed,and
Shimano Mtn Thumb Shifters 9 Speed
my new bike parts
shimano Deore 24-32-42t 10/9 Speed Crankset
Shimano XT M771 Traditional front Derailleur 9 Speed
Sram PG-970 9 Speed 11-34t Cassette
Sram PC-971 9 Speed Chain with Powerlink
Shimamo XT Mtn Thumb Shifters 9 Speed
Raceface XC mtn Handlebars
Adid Speed Dial V-Brakes
I am looking at 10 speed Dyna-Sys to upgrade Soon

I am unsure if there is a question in all of this but stick with 9 speed.
There is no point in shoving more and more and more gears into the same amount of space and just making things thinner and more likely to break or make it harder to shed mud and such. 9 speed is as far as one should go and with the prevalence of the internet it is pretty easy to find 9 speed stuff. Also you don't have the odd compatibility issues that Shimano has created for reasons of profit. 10 speed Dyna-sys isn't an upgrade it is a more expensive downgrade that adds one more gear in the rear that you probably won't use much.
What extra gear does the 10 speed have that is worth hundreds of dollars to upgrade to?

I'd stick with 9 speed for touring as well. I dislike Shimano for it's constant stream of planned obsolescence. I like Shimano for doing a pretty good job of ensuring that older parts are available. You can still find shimano 7, 8, and 9 speed stuff without much problem. It won't be the top end expensive stuff but it will be fine for touring.
It is quite possible to set up a proper 10 speed touring bike. Just take a look at the REI novara randonnee and the Surly long haul trucker. No doubt other companies are going 10 speed with their touring bikes without using Shimano's road triple which is not a great choice, IMHO, for touring.
The way that Salsa set up their Vaya 2 for example is not that great for touring with a shimano road triple; Bikes Direct uses that type of crank (50-39-30) with their windsor touring. But that's the kind of choice forced on bike manufacturers/vendors if they wish to stick with Shimano's brifters for triples. Bar end shifters are more forgiving of the triple being used as long as the left is friction.

likewise.. On Tour, if you need parts in a small town Mom & Pop bike shop, the more exotic your needs,
the less likely there will be spares, in stock. 8 speed even better ..
at the higher end the MTB drivetrains and the road stuff is Incompatible to mix them ,
which many touring bikes makers want to do.

Bring more money for Motels to await for special order parts if you break stuff in the Mayberrys along the way ...

Good Luck .. I'm speaking from experience from one of those shops on the North Pacific Coast.
set up a way to get some of your own horde of parts mailed to you Poste Restante, (General Delivery, USPS) as a back up plan..

I'm curious, did you start this post to ask a question or simply start an argument with everyone who responded to your post? If there is a question, what is it?

How can you say that? There is most certainly a difference in durability, you are adding another gear to the same space, meaning you need everything to be thinner. Thinner parts are more likely to wear faster. It is not a huge difference and I will grant you that but there is a difference.

I am pretty sure bikemig is not a troll or he is a damn fine one who should be held high in the annals of trolling history. I think your best recourse right now is to apologize and either ask a question or just step back for a bit.

There is some progress but not by that much. If you take nearly identical cassettes and chains the 10 speed will be less durable. It is not like they have vastly changed the metal compounds they are using for 10 speed. Thinner plates on a chain will surely take more stress from shifting and grit and grime.
Again I am not saying a huge difference but there will be some.

If you have the cash and storage do a big stock up on the top stuff and vac seal it and store it for a while and you will have NOS vintage parts to keep you cashified later in life.

Having been many million bikes sold with 9 speed components, the Distributors that ship repair parts to Bike Shops
will continue to have stuff.
will continue to have stuff.
