Hey Cooper, that Dual Control brake/shift of the 2000s may not have been widely popular and don't think I'd have run them, but the Rapid Rise RDs made it possible for me to MTB without putting as much strain on my damaged thumb. I rode 9spd until 2016 because of those RR RDs, but then tried the newest 10spd on a friends and it felt fairly smooth and didn't require so much force to shift, plus there was the clutch.
