Derailleur/Crankset combination

[Total Trek]

Hi guys

 

I have a 2007 sram x-gen (9 speed) front derailleur and I want to replace my crankset. Thinking of buying a simple deore 9 speed crankset. Will this combination work seeing that one is shimano and the other sram? May be a stupid question in some eyes but I dont quite have the experience with the combinations...

Yes as long as both items are:

 

1) 9spd setup (as many are now 10spd)

2) 3 Blades (SRAM now makes 2 x 10 so make sue it is a 3 x 9 der not a 2x10 or a 3x10 as the width get a little thinner if I remember correctly)

 

THe Deore crank should work, might have to fine tune the der but thats about it
