Dura-ace 9-speed bar end shifters 7700?
These have the little D-ring adaptor on the shifter which allows the rear shifter to be used in friction mode.
The 10-speed dura-ace bar end shifters do not have the friction option on the right/rear shifter.
If i have a bike with complete 105 triple drivetrain 10-speed, can I swap out the 10-speed brifter/shifters for these 9-speed bar ends, use the friction mode, and be good to go leaving everything else as is?
The only thing I can think of is the 10-speed chain might be too narrow if I swap out the 10-speed cassette for a 9-speed (for wider gear range)??

The 9spd shifters in friction mode will work fine on your 10spd drivetrain.

7800 series barend shifters (10spd) do have a friction mode. 7900 series barend shifters (10spd) do not have a friction mode.

Yeah, they're all sold out of those 7800s--nobody's got them.
I can get 8-speed ultegra barends cheaper than the 9-speed da--they would also work on 10-speed system in friction mode, right?
Sram and Campy barend shifters in friction mode would also work, right? Assuming they have a friction mode.

As for your question on SRAM and Campy working, I'm not 100% sure. I would think Campy would work if it does have a friction mode, but I'm not sure about SRAM because they have a different actuation ratio. You may need to use a SRAM RD.

Help me out here
OK, so I'm ordering
Shimano HG-50 9-Speed 11-34T MegaRange Cassette AND
Shimano SL-BS77 9-Speed Double/Triple Bar End Shift Levers
with the understanding that I can just replace only the shifters and cassette on my 10-speed system and I'm ready to fly with mtb low gears (I already have an XT long cage rear derail back there), right?
I don't need any spacers to put on the freehub body? As I understand it, I just leave off the 1mm spacer that's on there already, and everything fits like a hand in a glove, right?
just like it always works with bike stuff
and then when I want to use my regular 10-speed cassette, I just put the shifter into friction mode, right?
this seems too easy

I decided to go with the 9-speed, though, since I found them on sale at Niagara for $50 and the 9-speed 11-34 cassette is only 25. If i go with the 10-speed, it's $100 and either $133 for IRD 10-speed 11-34 cassette or wait yet another month for the new Shim mtb 10-speed cassettes which would be $50 minimum and might not work.

Clark, it sounds like your plan of 9spd MTB cassette with 9spd barend shifters will work. Then use friction mode with 10spd cassette. I don't see any issues with it.
