I’m going to build a bike for my wife
She’ll share my cx wheels with 11-27 ultegra cassette
I’m going to put flat bars on with 3x10 shifters (maybe shimano deore)
Do I need a mtb deore/slx etc rear mech (medium)
Or
Will a 105 road rear mech be ok
anyone?
nope, not as far as I know. It'll need to be dynasys, offroad 10 speed mech.
will mtb levers & mech work with a road cassette
will mtb levers & mech work with a road cassette
yes
can get ultegra flat bar trigger shifters too, and i'd expect a 105/ultegra rear mech ought to work on that cassette (so long as you get a model with enough capacity for the 3x up front).
the mtb shifters are cheaper than the flat bar road shifters though
I need a
3x10 chainset
3x10 front mech
10spd rear mech
to work on a ultegra cassette
3x10 chainset, 9 or 10 speed chainrings will work with a 10 speed chain.
never been convinced about the difference between 9 and 10 speed front mechs either.
yes, 10 speed rear mech needed.
