I am presently using the Attack shifters with a Shimano LX M570. Thanks.

The m772 is still a 9speed (the 10 speed dyna-sys RDs are a no-go) but it's a Shadow RD; Shimano tech docs say they will only work with matched shifters, but some online sources suggest otherwise. I haven't messed with them myself yet, so i cannot say for sure.

If you've not yet bought a new RD, why not just go with a m771 (normal RD) or m770 (rapidrise)? These will both work well with your Attack shifters....
