Ah, but the Deore XT 751 is low-normal, the reverse of every typical road derailleur.

That might be okay for you, but you might want to be aware of that difference.

It's the model 750 that is high-normal, or -- in its next iteration -- the model 761 is the high-normal.

Dave, who uses both the 750 and the 761 with Campy Ergo shifters and the ShiftMate gizmo on several bikes with 9-speed cassettes

So, on my most recent install, I searched for an older RD, and found the RD-M751. It is 9-speed, so compatible with 10-speed road shifters, and still has the barrel adjuster.

Just $25 from local Craigslist! Other models reaching back to 7-speed will work too, I understand.
