Deore M590 MTB Shifters with Sora 3500

Post by Brian73 »

I'm looking to make up a Sora flat bar road hybrid.

The Sora 3500 flat bar shifters are about 2x the price of the Deore MTB shifters and there are plenty of second hand Deore shifters about.

I know the rear mech will be ok but is the pull ratio the same for the front Sora road mech?

On the drop bar levers there's a trim setting, I guess you don't get this on the MTB shifter.

No the front mech pull is different
