Shimano SL-AT50 shift 7 speeds
Hey all,
Trying to finish my sisters Gitane mixte rat rod gravel bike and have a seven speed cassette on the rear.
1. Will the Shimano SL At50 ratcheting shifters pull enough for a 7 speed cassette?
2. Will 6 speed indexed Deore XT thumbies work with a seven speed cassette.
The RD is a Shimano 560 series Deore LX (8 speed I think)

3 Your RD is fine.
Use good cable and housing.
