My new tourer/brevet bike. Works rather well but I have one niggling issue. The previous owner fitted SRAM X9 on the RD, and shifters but not the front leaving a 9 speed Shimano 105 there. Chain rings are deore triple with a hollowtech bb and 26 38 48. Heres the issue. It shifts great in the back - you would expect that being matched and SRAM shifts very nicely indeed. But at the front on the upshift it works but is less than positive. Never played with SRAM stuff but I suspect its shimano/sram not playing nice. Downshift is instant. Checked the specs on the x9 FD and I see its only rated to 44. I won't ride with a 44. Do the SRAM road FD series work with the mtb deraillers or do they do the same as Shimano? I think if I match the shifters which are very nice to the right derailler I should be able to solve this trivial little problem.
