[Closed] Will a 10 speed front mech work with a 9 speed chainset?

I am looking for a direct mount front mech for my new frame and am struggling to find a 3 cog front deraillier that is designed for 9 speed and is direct mount.

I currently have a SRAM x9 front shifter and Race Face cranks that are 3 ring both of which are in good condition so would prefer not to change them for the sake of a front mech.

There seem to be some SRAM direct mount front mechs that are 3 shifters but all seem to be for 10 speed. Does any one know if this would work with my 9 speed setup?

Cheers

Rusty

Cheers for the quick reply Zippy, it at least gives me another option to look at. Did you have to change your chain to a 10 speed?

Bump for the evening crowd. Anyone else with experience of mixing 10 speed front mechs with 9speed drive trains?
