Hi guys

Can someone please confirm if a rear and front mtb mech and cassette will be compatible with STI shifters?

Just looking to put some semi drops on the Swift and am not sure!

Cheers

Why the 9 speed rear mech?

Pull ratio on STI levers is different to MTB levers.
I know it's not logical but it does work, and a 10 speed rear mech won't.

It's what I run on my CX bike - Ultegra 6800 levers, XT 10 speed cassette, XT 9 speed rear mech.
There have been some threads about it here in the past if you can track them down with the search function.
