Compatibility Question?
Hello! Hoping to get some confirmation from here - I’ve got a bike with a Shimano Tourney FD-TY510 from derailleur. Is it compatible with the Shimano ST A070 ‘brifters’? I’ve spent hours scouting the web and forums, but haven’t found anything giving me a definitive answer.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The first step for Shimano compatibility questions is to look at Shimano's compatibility charts.

I found that but had a hard time figuring it out. I was able to find both the FD and shifters on it, but because the fd is technically listed as a mtb derailleur and the shifters are road it seems like Shimano doesn’t even consider that as a possibility.

So Shimano early on decided that MtB and road systems have somewhat differing needs and have designed with the separation of the two uses as a constant.
To step up and onto my soap box- The loss of touring or tandem riding as popular (as in profitable) products along with the further trend in expressing best use as being more extreme have made any cross over products few and far between. Andy.

Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.
In pretty much every instance Shimano MTB and Road front derailleurs are not index compatible. Rear derailleurs are mostly compatible up until 9 speed for mountain and 10 speed for road.

What would be the risk[s] in using road components on a hybrid that came with mtb components?
ie: 8 speed for eight speed, triple fsa for triple fsa with a couple tooth differences, & cassettes are the same

i had a similar thought - if the shifters didn’t work with my derailleur could I get away with just swapping derailleur.
