Hi, I have 2x10 X9 shifters and a Deore 38x24 crankset, what FD can I use with this setup? Was about to buy an XT which is on offer at CRC but then read only sram will be compatible with sram 10 speed?? And chainring size comes into the fold too??

    You can mix and match front shifters and mechs so XT mech will work fine with your X9 shifter.

    MTB front shifter and mechs are all compatible, it's the rear that causes issues.
