I know this would appear as an obvious no but I wanted to check first.
Mech is a direct mount SLX labelled as a double that I am looking to use with a triple.
I know how 2009 😉
I had the opposite problem (use a triple mech with a double chainset) and the answer is 'it might not'.
In my case the triple mech cage was too long and fouled the frame when a double didn't - I'd be worried with a triple that the cage was too short to give keep clear of the chain/front chain rings.
Cool. Thanks.
Looks like it might be a bit longer until your treated to another shot of the "rockery" 😉
You could always give it a go with the double mech and just forgo the rockery pics if it succeeds 😉
I tried and found the cage on the double front mech to short to work with a triple.
Oh road bikes - no, not compatible. Look at some images - very different.
Not sure about MTB though.

The double mech I had has a much bigger back plate so in the 'outer' position it pretty much covered the inner ring, and a much smaller 'arc arround the chainring' to the outer plate too. I guess if you tried it on a tripple the back plate would hit the middle ring.
