Bikes: 1982 Trek 930R Custom, '91 Diamondback Ascent w/ XT, XTR updates, Fuji Team Pro CF road flyer, Specialized Sirrus Gravel Convert, '09 Comencal Meta 5.5 XC, '02 Marin MBX500, '84 Gitane Criterium bike

From the web... the DA 7800 Shifter "... will work with shifters(and ders!) that use Shimano's new road pull ratio, which is anything GRX (10 or 11-speed), anything 11-speed, and Tiagra 4700 10-speed." (the shifters and Derailleurs mentioned are compatible)

i'd swap on a DA long cage, 11 sp.DA long cage Der.(either of those options, WITH a tooth), or the 11 sp. GRX Der, Max of 34T, so no tooth needed....
i'd guess that the 10sp. GRX is also an option, and most likely also capable of 34 tooth low gears.

the GRX with no tooth needed would be my choice.

and the Tiagra Ders come up for CHEAP on local sales pages... that line works fine (my Fuji CF road burner runs it) but the pull ratio change and some clunky brifters cursed the series...........
