Sram road shifters comparable with mtb derailleur?


Mongoose!

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know of the pull ratio on a XO rear derailleur is the same as a Rival or Force STI shifter?

10 speed

 

I have a 32 - 11 cassette (Sram mtb) - 10 speed

runs with 10 speed Sram chain

X0 long medium cage rear derailleur -10 speed

10 speed mtb crank (carbon X0) 2 X 10

 

To complete the CX / monsterbike build, I want to run it with road double tap shifters ( Apex Rivil Force or Red)

 

Google tells me the pull ratio of Sram is the same (1 : 1) Road and Mtb ??

 

is this correct?

Anybody tried it before?  :whistling:

Yes. I have tried it and can conclusively say it works.

 

I run a 10 Speed XO derailleur with 10 speed Red shifters on my CX bike.

 

Perfectly compatible by design.
