Thinking of my new RRat bike with MTB XT flat bar shifters & a 105 crankset/cassette - will this work? CRC says that the crankset is only compatible with 105 road type shifters though?
any advice before I part with the cash!!

SHimano 10 speed MTB has a different pull I think - 9 speed OK, 10 not.

Your fancy hybrid needs road flat bar shifters.

Yep I think so, no point in trying to match XT and 105 - better to go for the Shimano road specific shifters
