[Closed] 2x10 front mech with 9 speed drivetrain?

Is anyone running this? Will it work?

just built up my new Mega AM to find there is not enough clearance on the chain stay for a shimano 3x9 direct mount mech when the suspension compresses.
Of course it's not possible to get 2x9 in direct mount. (frame requires direct mount)
SRAM 2x10 should have clearance, but will it work with a 9 speed drive train ( says compatibility 10 speed only on CRC)

Or, do I have to bite the bullet and fork out for a 10 speed drive train? ๐Ÿ™

hi - '10 speed' f mech and xt double, with 9 speed rear mech, chain and casette on my hard tail - no issues with compatability, i have had to become smoother changing gear / think more about chain tension as i have dropped the chain a couple of times.
