• You can mix Shimano mtb and road up to 9-speed I believe. 10sp it becomes a bit dodge.
    SRAM uses a 1:1 ratio across the board, doesn’t it?

    edit Using Shimano shifting/derailleurs with SRAM cassettes is okay.

  • Yeah, found this handy article that lists all the pulls and spacings so yeah, Shimano 10 speed road and mtb pull is different. With Sram its the same so I could mix road mech with mtb shifter but I don't think any of their road derailleurs will accomodate the 36t cassette.

  • kind of depends though - many use the combo of 10sp 105 shifters (5700?) and an xt 9-speed rear mech (m772 for example i think, has to be non-shadow). which works perfectly. so depends which way round you're doing i think

  • In addition to that article, you can also check this:

    Transmission Compatibility Datasheet

    An open Google docs with loads of information if you are planning to do some gearing experiments.
