a handlebar diameter difference separates things, road is 1.6mm larger in diameter,
22.2, vs 23.8 .. 7/8" vs ~15/16"
so controls are less than interchangeable ..
this is most of the bar outside the center clamp portion.. ..

9>10 speed is a marketing effort to drive buyers to spend more money .
planned obsolescence..
