I have a low normal RD on my LHT used with friction downtube Simplex shifters and 8speed cassette. I have said here before that the 8 speed shifting is too easy, and I will likely replace it with 9speed when I wear out this chain. I do like it on a touring bike; if the cable ever broke it would rest in the large cog for easy (yet slow) 3speed pedaling to the next bike shop. I agree it takes a minor mental shift (pun intended) to get the shift I want, but its no real mental effort. Its my only bike with friction shifting so its the 'normal' now.
