Thanks, I was just curious, I have DA7400 DT shifters (indexed rear, friction front) , DA7400 cassette, DA7400 rear derailleur, in fact it's the whole set (hubs, front mech, headset, cranks, chainring, BB, pedals, calipers, brake levers, brake pads, even the seatpost

) - of course not all of them are 7400, but 74xx series like 7400, 7401, 7402, 7403
I have no intend to go to brifters, I just like DT shifters
