I have a limited knowledge of how all these parts work together but its my understanding that Shimano 9 speed MTB rear derailleur is the same cable pull as Shimano 10 speed road shifters. I am using a 10 speed Shimano bar end shifter with a rapid rise XT rear derailleur and it indexes a 10 speed cassette pretty well but it does make some funny noise in the middle. It is super sensitive and even the slightest misadjustment of cable tension has thrown it off to the point where it skips in the middle. A careful re-adjustment fixes it. I’ve only had that problem once in the last year since I built the bike that it’s on.
So I wonder if the Microsoft 9 speed is meant to work with a 9 speed road RD… Again, I don’t know enough about this stuff to see a glaring problem but I do know that my setup works.
