What shifter does the LHT have for the front? 9 speed cranks have the rings slightly closer together so the matching 9 speed ft der doesn't have to travel as far. So for the same cable pull the 9 speed ft der cage will move less. With a friction ft shifter one just pulls the lever a tad more. Plus there's a difference between road and MtB 9 speed cable pull/der cage movements. With an indexed shifter one has to match up the intended gear counts with ft ders and shifters of the same intended use (MtB w/ MtB and road with road). Andy
