My road bike has SRAM 9-speed gripshifters (twist). Do the SRAm road front and rear derailleurs (i.e, SRAM Red, Force, Rival, etc) work with these shifters? Or do I need to stick w/ MTB derailleurs? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer for this.
no. red, force, rival, and apex are all for ten speed. you might be able to wiggle it, but the shifting won't be precise. sram road & mtb stuff are compatible, and you can use a 9-speed sram mtb derailleur if you desire

9-speed
