shifter and FD compatability
hi folks. I'm building up a flat bar bike from a friend and using most of the parts of a donor bike. it was running xt shifters with a 105 triple front mech and a mtb rear mech. This seemed to work ok'ish (i think) on her old setup, but i was wary about it. Ive fitted it to a planet x pro carbon frame and the FD is not working at all right, is this due to the different pull ratio on the shifter and mech?

Is the cable secured to the mech on the correct side of the bolt, as that can affect the working quite a bit?
Is it just the indexing that's the issue, or is the throw limited? Does it work across the range manually without a cable connected?
I’m building something similar but with a full Tiagra 2x10 groupset. I was told that everything must match to work properly.
I was just trying to build a pub bike from spare bits.
