I am just waiting for my Stumpjumper cro-mo frame to come back from Argos Cycles and I am looking for a crazy gear setup to put on it. It will be setup as a hybrid so I have all sorts of stuff on it.
I am wondering if it would be possible to combine a double road crank on the front and a standard 9 speed MTB cassette and derailuer on the rear. Say for example the following:
Rear - 9speed XT derailuer and Cassette.
Front - Ultegra Double 6500 and FSA SLK Carbon Chainset (double).
If that is possible then presumably I would need to buy both sets of levers and just use the respective ones for each?
If anyone has any thoughts, sugegstions or advice I would be grateful.
Many thanks
George
