Thanks Ed. Are the 'shadow' ones alright as well then?
I'm not sure, they're noticeably harder to set up than the normal MTB derailleur (on MTB), occasionally I have to put a new cable and housing just so it can shift well.
In theory, the shadow should work considering it does have the same cable pull, my other theory to why the other people who mate the shadow derailleur to road levers may not have anticipated the low tolerance of such derailleur.
I'm sure @mdcc_tester will correct me on this.

1x10, with something like a 42 at the front seems like a good option for me, for exploring bridleways and woods and that.
Does anyone have a 9 speed long cage mech knocking about that I can buy off you? eBay prices are stupid for something which I'm sure people have knocking about their parts bins.
