Just two quick questions - help would be much appreciated!

Will a SRAM X0 rear mech and shifters work with a Shimano front mech?

Secondly, can I use I generic KMC 9 speed chain on either road and mountain bikes? I am looking to get one for my MTB from Merlin and they don't specify if their chains are for road or MTB - does it matter?

Many thanks in advance,

Gavin

    well a a sram rear shifter has nothing to do with any front mechs.

    yes a sram front shifter will work with a shimano front mech.

    9spd chains are just that 9spd and KMC work with any 9spd set up.
