Mountain Bike Parts To CycloCross Bike
I've got an older mountain bike with some great parts (Shimano Deore XT). I'm ASSUMING I can use the derauillers, brakes and probably the cranks (correct me if I'm wrong). Its not a big deal but as long as the threading is the same, can I also use the bottom bracket?
Thanks
Keith

you can't use a MTB FD with road STI levers, the cable pull ratio is different.
if that's what you intend to do...

The crankset might have the wrong chainline - spaced to match a 135mm MTB hub rather than a 130mm road hub. Aside from that, I can't see any issues.

the XT cranks are spaced for OS 73mm instead of 68mm so you will need to add spacers to the BB for outboard BB.
