So, i’ve read a bit about cross compatibility of road and MTB shifter/mech/cassette shennanigans, but cant seem to find out about a specific question.
All my bikes are MTB’s right now, but i do use a light rigid carbon 29er for winter road duties (flat bars currently). Its currently running MTB 10 speed stuff, with 2x chainrings in 104bcd guise.
I’d like to run some drops, and move to road hydro’s for braking. I’m not wanting to start having 11 speed anything and would like to continue using MTB 10 speed gear. So, mechs, casettes, chains etc:
All road full hydros, either Sram or Shim are now 11 speed i think?
Is there a way i can use my MTB 10 speed stuff easily? i know i could have done with MTB 9 speed and Road 10 speed…. but now? i’m not sure.
Like… could I use 11 speed 105 shifter/brakes and the rest 10 speed MTB cassette/mechchain etc:
Sorry for numpty/newbie road questions.
