I'm trying to build a machine from the parts bin and wondered will this setup work?
10 speed MTB 11-42 cassette
Deore RD-M772 long cage 9 speed (I think SGS) 45 capacity and max tooth 34.
Ultegra 3*10 shifters
Shimano FD 105 9 speed double
105 double chainset 50/34
10 speed chain
Will the above work? my main concerns are shifter/RD and RD / cassette.
The difference in capacities is 47 and the official capacity of the RD is 45(?) but loads of people on Reddit saying it works with a longer B screw and no Roadlink required. I do have a Roadlink (somewhere in the shed) to throw into the mix if required.
Anybody got experience of this sort of setup or input?
Cheers
