ok, i know this has been discussed but there is some parts that are left out. ive read many places that to run 10 speed with mtb derailleur and road shifters you use a 9 speed mtb rear derailleur but im wondering which chain to use with this set up? 9 or 10 spd chain? thanks for any help!
deore xt 10 spd triple crankset 42-32-24 xt 771 10 spd cassette 11-36 slx long cage 9 spd rear derailleur xt 3x10 front derailleur 10 spd DA bar end shifter
also im wanting a very versatile range of gears for touring/ long gravel rides how well do you think this set up will do me?
chain spacing follows your cassette, not your derailleur. in your case you need a 10 speed chain. keep and eye on how long you need. some chains include more links when new than what others do
Thank you! Unfortunately I might just go sram with sram bar ends to keep it all 10 speed and be able to swith back and forth from road and mtb components.
