    Yes. Shadow or not works fine. I’m running an lx non shadow with 8 speed drivetrain and have been for some time.

    Don’t think 10 speed shadow+ is compatible though.

    I’ve used Shimano XT w/8 speed for about the last 10 years. Both M750 and M772 Shadow have worked just fine.

    Edit – Thinking of going 2x 10 though…

    Yup. The indexing is in the shifter not the mech.
