I really want this to be a bike I can use all the time and not have to worry about broken shit... so your advice is really appreciated before I take it any further!
I should have said the exact bits I have so far... (i am intending on running it 9 speed!)
Are there any 9spd SRAM brifters that would just work with this straight up - and would the TT500 shifters work cleanly without the need for converters too?
I do quite like the idea of using one SRAM trigger shifter and one bar end shifter - or is this just really stupid?!
I don't think there's a drop-bar or bar-end shifter that works with SRAM 9-speed MTB derailleurs so I think you'd need a trigger shifter for the rear for definite.
The TT500 definitely won't work on the rear as it's 10-speed and the pull ratio is different. No idea about the front one though...
@frankenbike @madman - Thanks for the input!
