front mech help

Normal as in triple?
Yes, although one designed for smaller MTB chainrings might have to sit extra high for its tail to clear the rings. Road front mechs have a gentler curve as do earlier MTB mechs which typically went with 46-48T chainsets.
If you are using something like a Middleburn Duo, then no problems at all.
Beware that road mechs need different cable pull to MTB, so compatibility can be a headache unless you use non-indexing front shifters.
