Combine Ultegra road shifters with XT rear derailleur?
I want to use my Ultegra 9spd shifter/brake levers with a wide range Shimano XT M760 rear derailleur on a light touring bike I am building-are they compatible.? I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "yes" but just checking. Thanks.

MTN rear derailers are compatible with road and MTN shifters.

hello
Yes, they are compatible. But, since this particular derailleur is low normal, your shift lever actions will be reversed.
I personally would use the traditionally sprung M750 rear derailleur, especially if you're accustomed to using STI's and use them on your other bike(s).....you don't want to confuse yourself with shift direction depending on which bike you're on.

You could also get a high normal derailleur and keep that as a spare.
When they made the change, I bought three at closeout prices.
Check Ebay for NOS.
