I am toying with trying a 2x9 set up insted of my current 3x set up.
I have a 10 speed compatible 38t/24t ring set to go onto an m750 XT crank set, with the remainder being Deore 9 speed. I cant see any problems with this, and drivetraincaculator.com doesn't either. I may come unstuck if the bottom swing Deore front mech won't slide down the seat tube enough to look tidy, but a Deore 10 speed top swing might then be necessary, which shouldn't be a problem either.
Has anyone tried this sort of combination and found otherwise?
I could also just remove the outer ring and run 32t/22t which would keep it on 9 spped rings but the front mech will certainly not go low enough then, and I think it may be lacking at the top end.
