Hi Everyone,
Could you advise me about L/H shifters for Front Mech please?
I went on Merlincycles to buy a pair but noticed that a pair of 10 speed XTs were £74 but they had single R/H rear shifters for about £25. Cos I'm mean, I bought the rear shifter only - thinking I must be able to get a front shifter for less than £50.
2 questions.
1. Who is selling single left hand XT front shifters for 10 speed triple?
2. Will a 9 speed shifter do the job for a 10 speed crankset and chain or do I need a dedicated 10 speed version?

Cheers.

9 speed front should work as the cable pull on the front is the same I think but it will look different.

It is quite common for people to ditch the front shifter and go 1x10 so stick up a wanted thread and see. Have you checked CRC for one?
