Also, can't you use a ten-speed Shimano derailleur with a 9-speed Shimano shifter and it will just work? The same way I use an 8-speed cassette and shifter with a 9-speed XTR derailleur? The cable pull's the same, right?
10 speed road will but I don’t think those are equipped with clutches. 10 speed and above mountain bike won’t work that way.
